Cold War revisited

[Max the Mad Russian]

A set of the awful PVS-5's in those days would have been a extreme rarity in the Navy helo world

Suppose they could observe this surfaced sitting duck by plain vision - there weren't any Soviet ships around until dawn. Russian sources claim the boat skipper didn't evaluate the depth and the abilities of his main sonar so his guys on watch hadn't been able to hear the whole BG Bravo crowd, not just carrier alone. Yet to me it is the result of a boss aboard: the SubRon CO was there and constantly messed with the skipper as to "where the carrier is"...

Somewhat related as this is a history discussion, but the new SECNAV has picked a fine short range target for something he can fix.

New Navy Secretary Wastes No Time In Calling Navy History To Arms

The new Navy secretary has made naval history a primary focus, grasping that the Navy’s proud legacy can do a lot of cost-effective work in advancing the Navy’s agenda both at home and abroad.

The history community in the Navy is a bit lost and the History and Heritage Command is on the ropes. The new guy, likely recognizing he has a small window of opportunity, is looking to make the Navy's history relevant (and popular) once more and that is a plus for the service.

I would like to see a process where outgoing CO's are interviewed for about 30 minutes for holding on to historical documents/history.

That is common practice for all brigade commanders (O-6) in the Army. I could see how a Navy squadron command would work the same way and have a good impact.

Does the Navy have a historical program? Every Marine command has to submit a command chronology every year. It’s super neat

I was just about to come back in and ask if the Navy has a command history program...basically an annual wrap up of what happened. They are fantastic documents.

We submit a report at the end of the year that is a wrap up and has a place for CO's comments. I will say it is not consistently done. I only knew about it as an XO because I had done it as a DH.

Surely you have done some positive things. Somebody has got to remember you @Brett327...even if they don’t want too.
