Think of every deterrent patrol made by the 41 for Freedom Submarines since 1960 and everyone of those Boats returned to their homeport. This effort was completed by Submarine Captains and crews as independent steaming patrols each of which lasted around 70 days. And many patrols were made in hostile waters to keep missiles in range of enemy targets. This may not be attributed to anything other than leadership and skill.<br /><br />Very Respectfully,<br />Navyman834Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758747359382999584.post-448810911078835792011-12-21T07:17:48.268-05:002011-12-21T07:17:48.268-05:00Downloaded last night to my Nook.

His story about the XO that lied to cover up the CO's excessive speed departing port at an admiralty board only to discover that a) the civilian who was injured by the bow wake had video of the entire incident, and b) the CO had already ensured the XO's career was over, was one of the better lessons on organizational vs. personal loyalty, and doing right being its own reward.Dave Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758747359382999584.post-50793589542029892252011-12-19T08:24:10.282-05:002011-12-19T08:24:10.282-05:00I have to agree with the admiral, the submarine co...I have to agree with the admiral, the submarine community has created some truly awful officers.SSN Sailornoreply@blogger.com
