US Navy fires on Polish Port

Oops. Good thing we got that whole "dub dub two" card with the poles. Oh wait...no we don't, they got hung out to dry.
 
The Vinson lost a 50 cal machine gun on deployment. That was cool.

I know an AW who accidentally dropped an M-240 into the Pacific.
 
Haha, How'd that ICS conversation go?

"Sir...you ain't gonna believe this, but the gun fell off"
"What the f*** do you mean it fell off?"
"it just...fell off! I swear"
 
My fav was an H-60H that took off with 4 Hellfires on the rail and the Emergency Jettison switch somehow 'just fired'. One hellfire M-299 rack and 4 missiles go 'plop' into the sea... Even better, it was the Skipper flying!!!

Fun Fact Learned from an LSI instructor who was there:
There was an Apache in Desert Storm that had an errant electrical discharge and when the PIC flipped the Master Batt switch to on if launched a Hellfire across the FOB. Didnt hit anything but he was blamed for it even though the weapon was safed.

Our skipper fired a bunch of flares on the deck of an amphib. The guys who were fueling the aircraft didn't think it was all that funny.
