Interesting bit of video you have there. I was the S.E.A. on the USS Trippe on the day of that collision. I was a Senior Chief Sonar Tech at the time and recognize some of the folks from the Trippe that made comments.
I new that the Navy had officially acquired a copy of the video but I must admit I was surprised to see it surface publicly on youtube of all places. I suppose after all these years it is time for people to see it. There is alot of information that many watching this video will never know or hear about for obvious reasons.
The incident ruined numerous careers and flat out ended some. The only good thing that came out of this was that there weren't any serious injuries as sadly was not the case in USS Iowa. It just shows that life at sea sometimes can be more dangerous than one might think.
Regards,
Dennie
