Keith,
The boat being loaded and unloaded from PC1546 was too big for our ship and it took a lot to get it in the water. The
first time we launched it the motor wouldn't start so we lowered the
Captains dinghy and rowed ashore in that. The captains name was
Garlinghouse and he wasn't well liked. He was a Lieutenant and a former
admirals aide who I don't think had any sea duty. I guess he was supposed
to get his experience at our expense. I still wonder about the natives on
Rongerik and why they weren't evacuated. Everyone seems to ignore that
part. Leaving the freezer doors open so no one would eat contaminated
food is not what I would call a great humanitarian act.
