Before bush the younger our deployments were six or so months. On a boat 264 feet long 39 feet at the beam 75 of us were, nary an inch to swing a dead cat. Three or four hours of rack time was about the best in a 24 hour period.

Dammit, Holdings. He was just about to spill everything.

Now I have nothing to report to my yellow friends.

My battle station was gun boss all mounts, weren't but two M2 Brownings and a couple hand me down M60s, I'd run out of barrels before I ran out of ammo. Hell we still had M14s, didn't get M9s until '97.

My father was a Gunner's Mate 1/C...July 7,1942 - October 10, 1945

This was his boat. His gun was one of the mid-ship turrets...can't remember which one.

Went to several reunions with him...enjoyed every minute of it.

I love those Fletcher class destroyers.

If we had fair winds and following seas we could make 16 knots, I made that kind of speed in my 27 foot 48 inch beam banca with 16 HP Briggs for the power plant. Either a 3in38 or 5in54 on the bow.

banca, Tagalog for boat with a canoe shaped hull with one or both side with bamboo outriggers. 3in38 is gun bore 3 inch 38 caliber, 5in54 is 5 inch 54 caliber.
