Only thing I ever had was a 1911 as PO or JOOD.
A little interesting thing was the Navy asked Edo Corp. to come up with a mine that could not be swept back then. After we mined haiphong harbor & the NV, ChiComs & Ruskies could not sweep them & a deal was made in Paris they asked Edo to come up with a way to do that.
The engineers told them “But you wanted a mine that could not be removed”.
My Senior Chief who worked for Edo put in 16-18 hours a day till they figured how to do it.
Always wonder how many ships were sunk till they gave up….
