The Squadron Commander, Capt Greg Parker, was on deck with Cmdr. Christopher R. Van Metre when the USS Hartford met the immovable object.

I find it a bit surprising this incident is even seeing the light of day. I thought sub accidents were strictly hush-hush stuff? (Except in cases of the Greenville, etc)

Also, is commodore a term still in common use, now that it's not an official rank?

Curious minds...

Was that in an earlier post?

I'm missing a piece or two of info.

Thanks,

LVM
