Years ago someone posted here about a near grounding of an S girl in the Atlantic. The gist of it was the nav did not calculate the 3 or4 knot drift added to their speed by the Gulf Stream. Which boat was this? Can someone dig up that old post? kcw |

That's unfortunate. I'm sure that you have knowledge, given your military history, that we would find of interest and value. Perhaps you would reconsider your decision? ------------- It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.~Abe Lincoln SS-393, SSBN-610(B), SSBN-624(G), SSN-591 USSVI Life Member; Holland Club; Plank Owner, Smoky Mtn.
