"Even though he advocated Prime Chance, Bernsen harbored some doubts about

the Little Birds’ stealth capability, worried that Iranian ships would be

able to identify and target them. The Night Stalker commander, Lt. Col. Bob

Codney, set up an exercise to allay those concerns. On a moonless night, a

pair of Little Birds was launched on a “patrol.” A half-hour later they

reappeared – directly in front of the La Salle’s bridge. The first thing

Bernsen or anyone else in the bridge knew of their presence was when they

received the radio message: “Bang. You’re dead.” Bernsen was sold. From that

point on, the call sign for the Night Stalkers in the Gulf was “Seabats.” [5]
