Who Is Your Virtual Capt. Named After?
For my current patrol, I've named my virtual Captain in honor of my Grandfather, who served in the Pacific, in the Phiippines. He passed away almost a year ago at the age of 96! I never tired of his war stories, or looking through his war photo album, which he left me.
The photos are great, and include a sunk Japanese merchant vessel in the bay, and the destruction of a communications tower. If I ever figure out how to post them here, I will! |

USS Cat
Named after my girl's cat. Yes, that's what she calls him: Cat  Oh yes, the Captain - missed that. The virtual commander is my son, Andrei, of course.
