Break Away After Hi-Line Evolution: This is very reminiscent to me of the time in October 1962 outside the Tsugaru Strait after we broke away from the DD we relieved and assumed patrol duties there during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Water and Skies that day were the most Brilliant and Vibrant I can recall seeing. At that time, Most of the world and certainly all of the military were convinced that hoistilities were eminent. There was maxium haste to distance ourselves from teh other ship and proceed to our patrol duties. The high-speed, tight radius turn cause a series of whirlpools to form alongside the hull. |
