McGrail was my skipper on the Midway after his Tripoli tour. Great guy.

...not to mention the "stealth transit" from Japan to NorPac to join Enterprise
and Coral Maru...


Did you have a "McGrail's Navy" sundeck above the bridge, with chaise
lounge, patio carpet, potted palm, SP phone to the bridge and the SPS
radar shut down when in use? Tripoli did.
