what the hell were US ships of war doing tied up in harbor during a typhoon? I am definitely not a seaman, but I understood that standard practice was to put to sea under these conditions.

My ignorance being unimportant to the situation, however, glad to hear that you and the rest of the folks are safe (or so it sounds). I imagine there's some more painting and hammer banging coming up for the crew. Let us know here if there's anything anyone needs. I have a feeling we can find a way to come up with just about anything you guys might need.

Stay safe.

P.S. my son passed his DOD physical. He is under contract at Texas A&M and will enter the Marines as a lieutenant in just about 2 years. Dumb SOB wants to go Recon and is up to his chin in training as we speak. God I'm proud of him and his choices. JSOC, here we come.

I'm not sure why we were still in port, I don't make those decisions. Probably has something to do with being strapped for cash thanks to the WoT.
