After being gone for 9 months things can change back at home with wifes and girlfriends

You may have to add "boyfriends" to your list. I think a homo relationship was rumored to be a possible cause of the Iowa gun turret explosion. Who knows, maybe the first guy was the lover.

My understanding is the first guy fell overboard chasing a football on the flightdeck.

Durn. You must have had to reach way up into your decending colon to find this piece of excrement.

That was proven to be a slanderously false accusation cooked up by the Navy to deflect attention from poor maintenance and dangerously outdated gunpowder, which were the real causes of the explosion. The Iowa Class Battleships were an accident waiting to happen and should never have been brought back from mothballs, according to a lot of people whose opinions I respect on matters Naval.
