All I ever knew about him was that he was the Secretary of the Navy and responsible for banning alcohol on naval vessels!  
 

Our ship’s flag was a knockoff of a Jack Daniel’s label, but said Old No. 27!!

Interesting!

It was decommissioned 21 January 1994 - were you responsible?

Now that the thread has aged a bit, I’d like to point out that when I first saw the abbreviated thread title on the main page, I thought this was going to be about @Chandler#81.

I left that ship in France in August 1993. 
 

I might be! 😂

I lived in a house in college with a dozen other guys and a Golden Retriever, and I didn’t own a vacuum cleaner. The house was briefly condemned upon our departure. We believe that was largely due to some horticultural hobbies taking place on the fire escape from the upper floors. We were the worst possible group of tenants for an attorney turned first time property investor/manager. 

 

But it was merely a house. A house in Cincinnati. Congratulations to you and yours, sir! It’s not like we crippled THE NAVY!
