[Looks like she faced the ‘sack’ a bit too closely.]

Generally speaking she has been in excellent health. This is one instance however we know she was bed ridden.

That’s not a British Uniform.

My reply was to post #29 which referred to a similar incident on the USS Cowpens.

http://www.cbs8.com/story/26225580/navy-report-uss-cowpens-skipper-retreated-to-cabin-for-weeks

The photo was of the XO of the Cowpens who was "delighted to serve under" the Commanding Officer of the USS Cowpens. The skipper of the USS Cowpens, Capt. Gregory W. Gombert, was having an improper and "unduly familiar" relationship with the cruiser's acting executive officer, Lt. Cmdr. Destiny Savage.

The US Navy had that problem early on. I don’t remember the name of the ship but so many females got pregnant they called “the love boat”

Now I get it. I thought there might be more to the story.

Is it the honking ginormous Eagle and Stars and Stripes Cap badge that gives it away?

That explains why I ran across a reference to the Cowpens being a cursed ship.
