My Destroyer USS EDSON (DD-946) • This is the EDSON underway. • The cropped version shows just the bridge area where I was stationed. • The background music is the Navy Hymn.
Modern Destroyers • This is an ARLEIGH BURKE class guided missile destroyer. • You can see how much more up-to-date she is since my ship of 35 years ago. • Background Music: Life on the Ocean Wave, by H.M Band of the Royal Marines

Submarine Performing an “Emergency Blow” This is a video clip from the U.S. Navy of a submarine doing an “emergency blow” to surface as rapidly as possible. There is no audio with this video.

That’s All, Folks!We’ll explore this topic further tomorrow. For today, just remember: “A Bad Day at Sea Beats a Good Day on Shore” G.H. Kain, 1970 Gulf of Tonkin off Viet Nam
