re: #546 pre-Boomer Marine brat
Probably true.
See my #538.
It’d be a simple plan.
GMTA, said the same thing early today. Bainbridge is spun up, guns manned and ready for an opportunity. Zodiac in the water opposite side from the pirates.
Phillips goes in the water, Bainbridge opens up with .50s, M-60s and M-4s or -16 if in range to keep the pirates occupied. Zodiac zips out and makes the pick up. When the Zodiac is clear 5” time.
That this didn’t happen, tells me the Bainbridge is not spun up. Why?
I don’t the decision was made on the scene.
That’s my read and my opinion.
