I was there and listening to the secure net radio traffic asking around to all units how many body bags they had on hand. The USS New Jersey replied they had 25 body bags in their sick bay. The reply to that was its not nearly enough. Creepy, sad day.
A friend of mine, now deceased, was on the Ricketts (DDG-5) off Beirut in ‘83. He said he and others were helicoptered in after the bombing for rescue/recovery. Said he saw things he didn’t want to see again.
