I remember that like yesterday. I was on watch in Main Control and had to trip the generator, cross connect and get out of main control via the escape trunk. Chief Redman was my engineering officer on that watch and he turned fire red for real. I loved the time in Japan. I'm still in touch with Rottice Stancil who happenned to be in the ship's office where the blades came through. Stan(Rottice) is Ray Lewis' uncle and my son and I have had the chance to meet Ray and attend a few Ravens' games.
The "Jolly J" always brings back many memories for me.
