  • Alphonse I went up to Bay City and interviewed for the Ship Sup/Excutive Director job last month about 3 weeks after she arrived.  They are having all kinds of issues getting her to the final location. I'm hopefull that everything will be worked out by spring and I'll go back up then to help out.  In the mean time any of you DE/FF types should check out the Destroyer Escort Sailors Assocation and USS Slater DE-766.  www.ussslater.org

nsfo sucked f-76 was pretty good burning jp-5 you could burn but superheater temps woud be higher and it did burn cleaner but was expensive to burn in a boiler and we made ourown overloads on the coral sea drilled out some 11s and made 9s for full power runs and wartimeuse.
