That’s a great sea story!
Mines not quite as fun but still enjoyable. I was CICO and ASWO on an FFG (Rodney M Davis 60) in the early 90s based out of Yokosuka, Japan. We had an op planned with an LA class that was coming out of Pearl.
Things went way better than planned. It was like we couldn’t lose the bubbleheads if we tried. Passive tail was giving us such great readings that we would have our helo drop active sonobouys directly on top of their position. Then the P-3 showed up and joined the fun. After a bit they just went below the temp incline but we were still able to get them - just made it harder. The old man was grins from ear to ear.
After we got back to port we were met at the pier by our commodore AND a rep from PACSUBFleet. They took all our sonar tapes and left.
Apparently the sub had just had some work done in Pearl and something hadn’t been done right so they were just noisy as all get out. They had to send her back for repairs and extend/replace ops for a bunch of other subs - I know because I was on all the ops messages for the desron and saw all the reschedules coming through.
Good times - and reminded the submariners why they do ops with us first before they go on to do the “real” stuff.

Was the CO Tony? He hated bubbleheads. The SQR-19 was a real game changer.
Hope to see you one of these years. Are you close to US Hwy 20?
