Admiral Rickover born today in 1900. That makes him 121 years old. ------------- My heroes wear dog tags, not shoulder pads |

The KOG would have been Seventy Years Old in this photo on Trepang's Alpha Trial. The OOD would have been twenty-eight.

Skipper, KOG is a term I'm not familiar with. Care to illuminate this old raghat? [Yes, I searched the net and NavSource, no joy.] ------------- ET1ss Nuke; 1962 - 1973. SSN-588, CVA-63, SSBN-629 BLUE, SSN-669 PLANKOWNER, FICPAC |

I was the OOD, the Skipper was CDR (Later RADM) Dean Sackett KOG was a euphemism - Kindly Old Gentleman. Google on KOG Rickover PS Like you, I was a raghat (that ended up being Commisioned.) |
