That's almost as bad as troops at Ft. Hood sending SIX rounds off post. Almost hit a house and barn.

A similar thing happened on Cape Cod. A round or three landed on Route 6.

That's almost as bad as troops at Ft. Hood sending SIX rounds off post. Almost hit a house and barn.

In 63, a reserve DE escorting us on a training cruise fired the main battery (at least two salvoes) 180 degrees to the gunnery range's axis, and bracketted...and panicked...a Japanese freighter over the horizon.

Next, an AA target-towing plane refused to come back with a new target after they chopped the target tow line about 10' aft of the tail with quad 40's.

The next week the same DE was leaving leaving port, and sideswiped a Japanese lumber freighter, sustaining extensive damage.

Not a bad record for a short two weeks.
