The boat had spent some time at a Florida port, probably Port Everglades. Before leaving, we had taken on some important guests. If memory serves, they were Norwegian Navy officers. We were taking them on a short “demonstration” trip to strut our stuff and show them what the U.S. navy was made of. (Truncated) |
I have lurked here for a while. I signed up to say that that was one hell of a story.
It's now one of my two favorite Navy stories, the other one is humorous and involves someone trying to cook a tin of Jiffy-Pop popcorn in front of the AEGIS radar, hurriedly sweeping the smoking mess over the side, the CIC freaking out, and the ship having to file a report of a one mile wide UFO 100 meters off their stern.
