Rougue waves
- Thread starter steelslaver
- Start date
My dad joined the Navy right after WW11 and was put on a destroyer converted to a mine sweep patrolling the east coast, one day a wave hit them that sent water down their stacks (80' high) and put the boilers out. He said that they were dead in the water for 3 days drying them out.
OP
Thanks, it is an interesting read. Some of the survivals are truly amazing. Plus, the puzzling tale of the ship without a crew. true life adventure here folks
Way back in 1955 I dated a cute little Navy Wave. I thought this thread
was going to be about those Waves.
was going to be about those Waves.
OP
No if I had started one like that it would have been rogue women and I have known a few of those.
Which reminds me of a story.
Back in my drinking days, I was in the bar one night and my dear mother who was going to the community college showed up with some women from the college. My mother in a bar was a very rare thing. i of course said hello and later when I went to leave and was saying goodby to my mom, one of the other women about my age question my ability to drive and insisted on driving me home. My mother though it was a good idea. So, we took off in her car and when I tried to give her directions, she ignored them.told me she was taking me to her house and once there took full advantage of my intoxication. It turned out she was a bit Rogue and very difficult to get rid of. Pounding on my door at any time, showing up all the time where ever I was. When i was drinking life was filled with these kinds of problems.
