What kind of sailor would want to serve on such a rust bucket?

One doing his job, which might include scraping and painting the ship.

Hey, now.
I enjoyed my time serving on the USS Peleliu. Almost the same kind of ship as the Essex.

Always good to hear from the Experts.

Experts are sometimes referred to as Sexual Intellectuals.

Of course some people actually believe that life at sea is boring and nothing to do or believes the scuttlebutt that comes from the recruiting ads.

Prayers for the Marine, then again there is a chance he may be ‘hiding’ aboard BUT am sure a complete search has been conducted prior the ‘official release’ YES, they were searching the sea while searching the spaces and there are several ships and men searching for this lone Marine.

If he isn’t overboard, and is found ‘hiding’ he may wish he were overboard.
Kind of like people not REALLY understanding why Birdhall(??) is/was so despised by Military types. ESPECIALLY those that were involved in ‘searching’ for him and those that didn’t return.

That is not a rust bucket. It’s a relatively new ship.

Any red/orange/yellow you pick up from a distance is either red lead primer or whatever that yellow aluminum stuff is.

She’s a fine ship. And badass.
