B43 CRONIN PIC (Above) AND INTERESTING FACTS ON TUG AND 2 CABEL SHIPS INCIDENT!
THIS IS PICTURE OF TUG AND2 CABEL SHIPS THAT IT HAD UNDER TOW AND BROKE LOOSE. THIS WAS WRITTEN ABOUT IN THE CAMPBELL HISTORY http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-cp/history/WEBCUTTERS/CAMPBELL_WPG_32.HTML. PARAGRAPH IS HEADED BY 26 NOVEMBER 1966 OCEAN STATION BRAVO. THIS ALSO MENTIONS ABOUT THE FIRST RUSSIAN AIR LINER AEROFLOT FLYING INTO MONTREAL. I HAD THE WATCH IN CIC AND HANDLED COMMS. WITH THIS FLIGHT. LTJG. POLOKOW WAS ON BRIDGE AND WANTED ME TO HAVE HIM SQUAK IFF. I DISCUSSED WITH HIM THAT HE WAS RUSSIAN AND CAPT. BANNER WAS CALLED TO COMBAT. PIOLT DID NOT KNOW WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. THIS ALSO MENTIONS ABOUT ROUGH WEATHER AND SEAS ON BRAVO BUT I REMBER IT AS PRETTY SMOOTH FOR BRAVO. BY THE WAY WE HAD 2 GUYS JUMP SHIP IN ARGENTIA ON OUR WAY TO BRAVO BECAUSE A MAJOR SOOTH SAYER SAID A MAJOR C.G. VESSEL WOULD SINK IN NORTH ATLANTIC. IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT I THINK ONE WAS SN. GORDON AND THE OTHER IS THE GUY ON LEFT IN PICTURE B16. THEY HITCHHIKED BACK TO NEW YORK AND TURNED THEMSELVES IN. JIM
