    USS Fitzgerald

    Hey Folks, To answer Thataway's question, underway watches in the Navy are four hours on a rotational basis. Deck department will often "Dog" the mid-watch to two hours. Engineering and other departments watches are also four hours. Y'all take care and be safe, Spuncopper

    USS Fitzgerald

    FYI (and then I'll shut up) concerning NJP (Non-Judicial Punishment). In the Navy a NJP does not preclude a court martial. The accused has the right to request a court martial in lieu of a NJP. Accepting an NJP is you are admitting quilt. Usually the accused is better off accepting an NJP. The...

    USS Fitzgerald

    Oh, yeah... oops. I hadn't seen where it had been decided the CO would face an NJP. Normally a NJP (Non-judicial punishment) would be a "Captain's Mast". In this Commanding Officer's case it might be an "Admiral's Mast" since he was a senior officer. It is a very sad incident all the way around...

    USS Fitzgerald

    Hey Thataway, Dive teams are not assigned to combatant vessels such as the Fitzgerald and haven't been for several decades. I believe it was around 1972 when they started reassigning divers to dive lockers, repair ships, etc. About the same time they required all the old hard hat divers to...

    USS Fitzgerald

    Hey Gang, There are seven officers and crewmembers listed as being at fault. Their careers are over; period. The CO will be facing a court martial and probably the XO, as well. The Department Head of CIC, the Division Officer of CIC, and the OOD will in all likelihood be facing disciplinary...

    What is wrong with this boat?

    Hey Sdcotten, If you enjoy minimalist or backpack camping you'll probably enjoy a CD 16 cruiser. My wife and I certainly do. It is easy to tow, launch and recover. You can get into coves fisherman in their bass boats avoid. It's easy on gas, which is good as you are restricted on how much you...

    What is wrong with this boat?

    Hey Sdcotten, Interesting modifications on this boat. It could possibly be an interesting project boat if the seller would come way down on the price and if you enjoy doing that type of thing. What I find intriguing is the interior wood work and the wood platform over the splash well look...

    What people say about our boat

    Hey, I, too, get a lot of "cute boat" comments, but my favorite was, "Looks like Popeye's boat". :lol:

    Bow steering, broaching, and trim tabs

    Hey Bill and Sherry, I can only surmise what happened, but it most likely was not just the trim tabs but a combination of factors. I was a passenger on a Sea Ox 22 (if memory serves me correctly) outfitted with trim tabs. The operator had the boat "trimmed" out for speed and running full...

    How to avoid hull slap on plane

    Hey Mark, Yep, know what you're talking about. It will work on other powered boats of various hull designs as well. I'd accomplished it with my CD 16 as well as my 16' McKee Craft, center console. However, there were times I'd "miscalculate" with a resounding slap and spilt drinks. My...

    Anybody familiar with this 2003 CD 22 cruiser?

    Hey Hardee, It was fun researching this boat; I'm almost positive it's been sold. However, I couldn't justify buying a CD 22 unless it was an extremely good buy. At the present, we're not in a position to use or even take care of a boat like this. We're lucky to be able to use our CD 16...

    Anybody familiar with this 2003 CD 22 cruiser?

    Thanks to Thataway, I checked the website for Burnt Store Marina which listed two boat/yacht brokers and neither one had this boat listed. Following up with Thataway's suggestion of researching B French I found a gentleman in Punta Gorda with a name match. Following this up I discovered his...

    Anybody familiar with this 2003 CD 22 cruiser?

    My bad, it's a 1993 CD 22 Cruiser not a 2003. Can't multitask worth a damn any longer... :(

    Anybody familiar with this 2003 CD 22 cruiser?

    Is there anyone who is familiar with this boat (Hunky Dory)? I've seen it on the market now for over a year. It's always located in the Punta Gorda. Fl area or further south and it's always on the same trailer (which is not included). The trailer always has the same fender configuration on...

    "Wanderer" Has A New Home . . .

    Hey Noo Yawk, Your boat "Kittiwake" wouldn't be named after ASR 13, USS Kittiwake would it? Spuncopper
