Comment | I held the position of the CIC-Bridge S/P phone talker when CIC passes that they hold the Belknap and
Kennedy closing in on each other...Fleetac speaker spurred out, "Belknap, this is Kennedy over!" Immediate
concern went out because of the use of plain names with a Soviet tattle tail "in formation". Next CIC passes
through me, that they hold the Belknap & Kennedy merged. All bridge hands' feet and eyes shot over to
the Stbd bridge wing...There in the distant, I saw, I reported back to CIC, "There's a large
explosion...,they've collided!" Thus began a night which can never be forgotten. DLF |
