1MC??? Oh, that's new information. For those of you who don't know the 1MC is the circuit that broadcast information throughout the ship. Also called the general announcing circuit. I spent most of my time speaking and giving orders on the 5JV. That way we stayed far away from the forecastle, Longer, and his rump wrangling buddies.
As to your statement (and false implications), the only WW II ships brought back were the battleships and they saw action. Of course it wasn't ship to ship like they were designed for but who wants to nitpick (or nose pick for you Monger). I remember Lebanon. Hezbollah would take a shot at my tin can with an artillery piece and that could have really hurt if they hit anything. Then the battleship would swing in closer to shore and take them out with very extreme prejudice. Longer won't know about this stuff. He was in the Bosun's Locker biting on a piece of mooring line with his face on the deck. Originally Posted by john_galt

Then you started bragging and leaking. Hey uncle LEO!
