Re: US Diesel

As I recall from my days at BDA (1968-1970) the saying was "The Harder, the Darter, the Trigger, the Trout, they always abrupt in and they always abrupt out." This was due to the FM 10's on board that replaced the pancake 16's in 1956-1958 time period. Long before most of us were in the Navy.

Re: US Diesel

Funny I was on Darter in her last years out of Sasebo and it seemed we were constantly filling in for Nuke Boats on Gate Guard who mysteriously went broke dick while tied up in Subic. Our Fairbanks and Morse's always worked and it was Barbel who we lovingly referred to as Building 580 who was winning Battle E's tied to the pier for 18 months.
