I thought by then the PCFs would have been heavily given to the VN Navy. They got all the new PCFs in'68 before I left. We used to get a good belly laugh because their boats ALWAYS were listing at their dock. It was pathetic.

I snuck onto one of their larger patrol boats once after a beer bash at the end of the little air base near the lagoon to steal a case of what I thought was wine. It was that disgusting fish sauce they make there out of rotted fish guts. Boy!!!! Did we have a suprise when we got back to the flotilla! Took me 3 days to get the taste out of my mouth. All they used the patrol boats there that I could see was to black market to who knows where. That damned crud is known worldwide to this day by VNs all over the world.

Gettin' off message here. Getting into the old sea stories. Let's contact thru FReep-mail.

MSNBC,

Predator destroyed missle launcher with Hellfire missle that they think was responsible for some of the Kuwait missle attacks last night.

DOD says 3 Predators lost so far, cost is 40 million each.
