You could read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Wahoo_(SS-238) But theres really alot of stories about the Wahoo and her skipper. "mush" morton got his name cause well, i guess he ran off at the mouth alot. "mush" i beleive was short for "mush mouth". Wahoo's exploits are stuff of legend. From the above link i just gave: Quote:
But Wahoo is known for alot more. Such as some of their status reports. One was reputed start with "Running gun battle today....." after which it gave the details. Obviously it invovled a high speed chase using his deck gun. The next day or two another report came from the wahoo, "Another running gun battle today, destroyer gunning, wahoo running". To appreciate the wahoo, you just really have to sitdown and read all the stories about her, its kinda incredible. |
