Bates was a great Boat BTW, plank owner and loved my time onboard.
I was a surface sonarman on DLG-34. Got an invite to ride the Finback (SSN-670) for a week. The sonar crew humored me and let me ping until we crossed the Hampton Roads tunnel, leaving Norfolk.
Is my mind getting soft, or where you the guys with the “Bat Hatch”?
