the perfect storm

[trex1943]

Holy crap I remember this like it was yesterday... that was a fun ride if I do say so my self, except for almost loosing the .50, anchor, buckling a few beams and taking on an ass load of water...

[JKendrickProductions]

My brother was there: Second Class Petty Officer Nathan Kendrick. Freakin' Chiavralotti.

[NachoDog3]

Yo Gig and Gallego. Its Mack! STG's rock! I was injured from this Goddamn storm. Slid across the messdecks on a huge roll. Only thing to break my slide and damn near my ribs, was a chair. That day sucked! Didn't puke though.

[FC2DetFoxtrot]

This is ray.

[FC2DetFoxtrot]

No, I mean I recorded this on VHS. I think someone digitized it from that.

[FC2DetFoxtrot]

Oh yeah, big body chiavralotti!

[FC2DetFoxtrot]

Yo Felipe, I still remember recording this on the optical sight! I just showed my wife, she started feeling queasy, lol!

[loneshark2000]

@FC2DetFoxtrot how did it ever get to digital format ? i found it on the ships LAN and saved it.

[BlastMaster28]

Loneshark, this is Gig, dude great vid! We had a trip off the vacaps that nearly destroyed sonar 2. Me and this other STG had to try and shore up that space while he puked into a trashcan.

[loneshark2000]

wassup ! good times ! glad its over !

[hogtwat]

And when we're back in dry dock, we stagger like we're drunk

And wonder how we stood it, and why she never sunk.

You lay out your civilian clothes, but just before you switch

Your sea bag's on your shoulder and you sign up for one more hitch

[hogtwat]

We have heard of muddy dugouts and shell holes filled with slime,

Of cootie hunts and marches which fill a soldier's time,

But set beside destroyer life, it all seems dull and pale,

When the clinometer hops, the barometer drops, and we line up on the rail.

[hogtwat]

Chorus:

OH, IT'S ROLL AND TOSS AND POUND AND PITCH

AND CREAK AND GROAN YOU SON OF A BITCH,

OH, BOY, IT'S A HELL OF A LIFE ON OUR DESTROYER.

The damned tin can destroyer was never meant for sea,

You couldn't keep it steady in a lousy cup of tea,

We carry guns, torpedoes and ash cans in a bunch,

But the only time we hit our mark is when we shoot our lunch.

[hogtwat]

Great song. For those wondering - you can get it at drinkingsongs dot net/mp3s/1950s/1959ca-every-in­ch-a-sailor-by-oscar-brand-(LP­)/01-destroyer-life.htm

Destroyer Life

The boys out in the trenches have got a lot to say

Of the hardships and the sorrows that come a soldier's way,

But we destroyer sailors would've liked their company

On a couple of trips in our lousy ships when we put out to sea.

[skiglari]

I was in this storm with my 32" sloop. Scary...

[Johanoeberg]

Thats a storm! I did service on a Swedish Corvette. This would have killed us =)

[peterwilson69]

roll & toss and

pound & pitch and

creak and groan you son-of-a-bitch....

[hunter3705]

Where can I get a copy of this song? I love it!

[Clayton0001]

My Dad was there, he was on that ship before he was transferred this year.

[lbl101]

Hey, This was our UNREP song CARENY sailor life long!!! GO US NAVY

Anyone know where I can get my ships song!! We used to play it but off a recording from an old record All old Carney sailors email me,,STG(sw) Lair

[darkredsuns]

My son was on this destroyer, USS Carney during the storm! One of his shipmates recorded this. We were there to welcome them home when they docked in Mayport Naval Base. He showed me this video on the ship after he gave us a tour. We weren't allowed to go below to see the damage this storm had done to it. They had a LOT of repairs to do! I thank God they made it home!

[fluke983]

LOL! I can't believe this is on here. I was on that thing during that. Always loved that song.
