It was '88 or '89, I was onboard a mil vessel in the Indian Ocean. We stopped a N Korean frigate w/nuc components bound for an Iranian port. We were going to board her that day and confiscate the nuc components - after 3 days of sitting dead in the water…the NK frigate "sneaked" away in the middle of the night and made her Iranian port! Most navyfags know that a commandeered ship at the very center of a strike group cannot just "sneak away"! She was allowed to make her port with those nuc components! That was a sad and troubling day for me! When I got out 2 years later, I read, "The Fourth Reich of The Rich" by Des Griffin. Depending on how you look at it, I've been awake since '88/'89 or '91!
