Charley Noble???

Any of you really crusty old salts know what a Charley Noble is? I heard
this term the other day from an "ancient mariner", and I hadn't heard it
since 1965, brought back some real good memories. Any one care to take a
crack? Also, anyone know the origin of the term?

I know.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I know.

But shouldn't it be who "Charley Noble" is?

As in, "Seaman (or Mister) go find Charley Noble and tell him to report
to______ on the double!"

Its too early to revel his identity. Lets wait until tomorrow and see how
many know.

Wow, that *is* a trip down memory lane. Won't give it away, but will
mention that it got its name from 19th century (British) Capt. Noble,
who demanded polish.

You forgot the "spit" that goes with that!

I wonder how many of you have ever seen a "Sea Bat"?

I *was* one (from 89-91) w/VAW-127 Seabats

No! nine! nyet! nonka! hell no! Wrong kind of a seabat. He is talking about
the kind that hitched a ride out to the ship and you just found hiding in
your aircraft. grin Of course if the blackshoe (preferably the ships Lt),
wanted to see him he would have to bend over and carefully peak into the box
with letting the seabat escape.
