Pretty sweet vid of the Coastie MSRT teams doing their thing. This apparently happened a few weeks ago, and it’s why VP Pence was in San Diego today.

What a fun mission, wish we still participated. Was lucky to take two of these things down on my first deployment. Logged ASW, of course.

Fantastic footage and a great catch by Monroe's crew. I didn't know that yelling was such an effective ASW technique.

I'm just glad everyone had their NODs on.

That mission is fantastic, though that dude seemed a little overzealous to me. That thing was in zero danger of getting away and there are better ways to get it to stop that don't involve unnecessarily risking your life.

Are P-8's done flying out of Comalapa?

That's actually not true. It has a very good chance of getting away, but only in one direction (down), which is what they're trying to prevent. If it is scuttled, there's a contingency for the guys top-side and is part of the pre-takedown brief.

It was, and I’m pretty sure still is, rare to catch one and it’s load before they get scuttled. The Coasties did a good job.

I'm glad my economic situation does not put me in a scenario where driving one of those semi submersibles makes sense.
