We're very proud of your almost attack on the subchaser and I'm gonna give you a vacation when you return to base.

I'm afraid those unchecked boxes in his mental evaluation are coming back to haunt him.

ComSubPac Sailor Steve oh no I be in trouble he would take away all my tonnage for bad spelling and bad grammer it would be great if someone would do it though.red keep up the good work been awhile since I had a good laugh

I managed to get far enough away so I could go to "Decks Awash" and use the UZO and sink the Yamato.

I am currently RTB. Torpedoes expended.

Kills: IJN Hiryu, IJN Yamato, and a Heavy Cruiser

Ummmm....

My spidey sense tells me Admiral Armistead is not in the mood to hand out any medals today.

Then this Admiral can handle the repairs that I need since he thinks I'm a coward for sinking the biggest battleship ever and a jap carrier.

In preparing Admiral Armistead's morning briefing, I find the USS Grenadier is returning to base from it's last patrol. The patrol consisted of a "harbor-raiding" sighting-seeing cruise (with external camera no doubt), playing ring-a-round-the-rosie with one...repeat one sub-chaser, and firing upon various ships tied up at port which were unmanned, unable to defend themselves, and posed no immediate threat to American lives or vessels.

Noted are no instances where the USS Grenadier was actually fired upon. (Sorry, fireballs emitting from "glitchy" sinking vessels do not count). While displaying what as been previously described as "cowardly behavior", the Grenadier received damage to various parts of the sub but far more importantly lost several crew members.

To: LCDR Eugene Williams, USN
The admiral will want a list of the names of the deceased crew members upon your return to base. He will also want you to report to his office at 07:00 with your month and year statistics.

Your future as a submarine skipper will be evaluated by Admiral Armistead and you will be advised how he plans to use your services during the remaining war effort. Good day sir.

[Armistead]

Thank you for the briefing Lt. Goose. Please send this Flash to USS Grenadier. When and if the USS Grenadier returns to port, take
Cmdr. Willians into custody for Article 32 hearing. Take proper action to secure crew and evidence for hearing.

Flash:
USS Grenadier Eugene Williams CO
e3495

Credit not given for claimed sinking of Yamato, Hiryu or any other ship. All were spotted yesterday in Tawi by US aircraft.
Return to base at once.

You'd be filling a real need!

Thoughts while preparing for Article 32 hearing:
And to think...BigWalleye wanted to promote Admiral Armistead to ComSubPac. I don't think their brig is big enough!

BigWalleye is probably having second thoughts right about now. "Be careful what you wish for."
You don't want to mess around with this admiral. LCDR Williams is finding that out the hard way.

[Armistead]

Keep an eye on Cmdr Fifi as well.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Transfer? I hope you're not thinking about going AWOL. I would advise LCDR Williams turn himself in to the MPs and await his Article 32 hearing. Poor fella, this just wasn't his war.

I would recommend a new young skipper starting a new career, check in with Admiral Armistead for areas to patrol. The admiral has excellent intel on prospective conflicts and I think a young skipper could really learn a lot from his guidance.

[Red October1984]

Who made Armistead the Admiral anyway?

I'm transferring from Pearl Harbor. I don't need this.

He got it the same way everyone else here got their positions. It's self appointed. You don't think anyone would honestly trust me enough to make me in charge of assigning new shipmates jobs, do you?

You don't just transfer!! Get your arse back to Pearl ASAP. Maybe you're survive the upcoming investigation, maybe not, but stand it like a man. If you're not back in Pearl by tomorrow, we'll consider you AWOL.

Thest threats aren't going to help your case. My advise is to seek legal advice. Feel free to choose anyone you wish or if you can afford it, you can hire your own.
