Default To close for comfort...

While cruising on a mission to deliver a spy to Osaka, the Starfire was forced to traverse a narrow channel. Since there were 5 gun emplacement lookouts surrounding the channel it had to be traversed underwater (at bearly periscope depth) the bottom was 1 to 2 feet from the hull. Its funny that the ship just magically passed through boulders in the water

Young Capt...You need to learn about the Force and employ the Jedi Mind Trick when traversing such dangerous waters....

Just finished a photo recon of Tsurusaki and heading towards to Osaka now. Another photo recon mission, its around 18h00 local time very calm seas and 3hr out.

Gonna wait until 23h30 before I make my run.

This might be the end of USS Pike (SS 173)
