Listerene bottles worked great whenever we pulled into Rosie Roads after torpedo and missile tests. Until the doc on the blue crew caught wind of it and told our doc to check mouthwash for traces of cheap rum....
Similar coloring. LOL! Torpedo and missles, not to mention gunnery drills on Vieques. Spent a week one night in the hospital in SJ after an illness at sea. The worst part was, they wouldn’t pull in to port and transferred me to a tug strapped in to a stokes once the tug came along side.
P.S. I was once an American in England. ‘61-’63 as a Navy dependent.
