Hey Skunkboat, was checking out your videos. In the Striper 2015 video I saw a USS Briscoe hat. My dad was on the Briscoe for many years when she was in Norfolk. I spent a lot of time on that boat when I was a kid. Pretty cool to see a Briscoe vet.

TMC Rose ring a bell? He was on her 88-91. Actually he may have been PO1 until after you left. I don't think he made TMC until right before he left in 91.

Don't recall any Torpedoman named Rose. Maybe he changed rates. There was a GMM1/GMC Rose. He worked on ASROC. A real character. Called everyone "dick bump"... gruff but with a wink & a smile

I'm pretty sure he was on ASROC. I'll have to ask him tomorrow. He's the kinda of guy that would of called everyone "dick bump". He told me he wasn't the most liked guy aboard.

I showed him your videos and he was naming guys off left and right. He was on her for the Unitas tour. He said he recognized you. Thought you were a Fire Controlman 2nd Class. Sound right?

I just text him and he was a Torpedoman his whole career. But he knows the GMC you're talking about. Thinks his name was Bill. My dads name is Tom.

i dont think painting the outer hull black, or any other dark color would make it hot. the deck or interior surfaces yea, that would burn your *** up but the exterior... dont think it would make any difference at all.

black would be a lot of work, both to paint it and to maintain it. but i think it would look awesome on that v20 flare. i would love to see one.

i think in 2015 seahunt introduced their new pewter color. it looks good. and one of the builders, cant remember which one, just introduced a sharkskin grey color that i thought was pretty sharp

all i know is black is beautiful, yall are racist
