have you considered adding some captions below each of these images, explaining exactly WHAT the hell it's significance to ANYTHING is ?? with no narrative, this would be considered an editing basic.

you could also use some practice massaging your music 'blends', friend.

"ncident at Sakhalin: The True Mission of KAL Flight 007"

I have never felt more safe and secure than serving under the command of Capt. George Sullivan and Cdr. Mike Mullen. During KAL 007 ops, we performed with diligent perfection under circumstances which very easily could have led to WWIII. I would easily lay down my life for any of these brethren in support of this great country of ours.

- I find the triumphalist US military band sound-track to this slide-show to be in very poor taste.

- The downing of KAL 007 was a tragedy involving hundreds of civilians dead, and all their families, at the very height (or depth) of the Cold War an ever-brittle stand-off.

- It was almost a Cuban missiles-type incident at the time.

- Why the frustrated search-mission undertaken needs American brass bands, to audio-illustrate it, at this distance, somehow escapes me.

Regards.

Capt. George Sullivan was a east coaster and a kool captain, The chicken of the sea captain was Mccoy not Sullivan....those were good times aboard the Dirty 31...

[dsteele1345]

Captain Sullivan definitely was a ship handler of exceptional talent. With his patented cigar in his mouth. Can't do that in "today's" Navy! lol

[rrlittleton]

@dsteele1345 It was a pipe not a cigar.

[Smackdaddy9]

I remember Sullivan as 'The Chicken of the Sea' that what he was called.

As a fact, he let some aft lookout go with a warning for sleeping on watch. It was a black kid and Captain Sullivan was scared. So, yeah, he was a piece of shit.

Also, he had a dead fish hand shake.

He was the biggest douchbag CO ever.

I served aboard Sterrett at the time of this incident. I was initiated as a GMC during this operation. Capt. Sullivan was by far the greatest ship handler I had ever seen.
