Now thats a rare find. Being a Mariner I have alot of respect for that ship that went back out. I worked towboats in Alabama,Florida,and Tennessee.
I've been caught in many storms, and its not alot of fun on a work boat when you start breaking apart tow in rough weather. I knew some of Mariners who never came back or got Seriously injured. Unfortuanatly the worst one is when our sister ship bring'n empties back, ran a trawler over. The crew was Veitmeese, and didnt speak english. No survivors on the trawler. Sad state of affairs to say the least. Was an entire family.  :salute
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.
