Right off the port quarter if I remember. Too true about the quarters, and if you were white, forget about going into the crews lounge at nite. I worked out of the ET shop on the 03 level, mostly in transmitter rooms on 03 and 06 or 07 level. It's been a long time, and I can honestly say the only good time I had were when I was on liberty, or otherwise off the ship. I talk to sailors nowadays, and they can't believe what it used to be like. It's a whole new Navy now.

"Right off the port quarter if I remember"

Right you are. I was in the shower, about to go on watch when the collision alarm sounded. Scared the beejezus out of me.
