This short commemorates the May 14 1979 collision between two naval ships, USS Cook and the USS Mars, off of Point Loma, San Diego CA. Putting aside the captain's pride, no one on either ship was seriously injured. I had just been relieved as BTOW by Chris Nelson on was on the fantail of the USS COOK with Jim Nye at the time of the collision.
my dad was on the cook when that happened.

LOL, I checked in as an HM 10 years afterwards and kept hearing stories about this. I even saw it engraved in the bulkhead in the bos'n locker that on that date the Cook landed on Mars...
