As the USS Harry S Truman got underway on Fri. 20Dec 2002, there was an announcement on the ships intercom
"PEACE ON EARTH TO MEN OF GOOD WILL--ALL OTHERS, STAND BY"
Well met, Bob! I served as the corpsman aboard Gurnard in the mid 80s (ICEX 84) and was constantly amazed at how utterly open to attack the surface fleet was! All that ASW stuff was just a nuisance; if they ever found us it was blind luck on their part. Thank goodness the other side didn't have boats as good as ours!
