Guide MSO 447.jpg
Last of the wooden ship navy. Wooden Minesweeper used up to the Gulf War. 170 feet Ocean Boat with other down to B Boats or river boats the size of old PT's.
 
In the Navy we were going along side an oilier when our wooden ship was pulled in by the large screws of the steel ship. We rammed them, but being smaller and lighter we did not crash thru, but instead violated the rules of physics and ran up their side as we rolled over on our low side. At some point the laws of gravity took place and just as we were to turn turtle we slid back down and into the sea leaving our port anchor in one of their port holes. The next morning I woke up and about to slide out of my rack when the guy across from me in an upper rack sarted laughing. I couldn't figure out what his problem was, but slid my legs out and pushed myself free and my feet hit the deck and water splashed up on me. I stood up quickly and looked down and my legs were in water. I looked up and the jerk was laughing his head off. He explained there was no problem, the damage control had pluged the leak that was above the water line, but we had run into heavy seas after I got off watch and water came into the forward berthing space. He told me it was my problem as I slept in the low spot of the compartment where the water ran and the head was right by our racks, So I got a dust pan and spent the next hour shovelilng water into the drain in the head and then swapping the deck.

I think this boat was decommissioned decades before the Gulf War.

There were still a few left of the old MSO's (Mine Sweeper Ocean). They sent them east in a container ship. They would take some damage at sea, but they were true wooden ships. The motto was "The Fleet Goes Where We Have Been" They had an aircraft carrier used for helicopters to sweep, but it was hit by a mine.

Live The Life Aquatic By Buying This Ex-Navy Sonar Ship With A Rich History​

At present, the going bid for the ex-Navy-Coast Guard-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) vessel now named Hi’ialakai is just $40,500 (although the reserve has not been met). The 225-foot ship – which the GSA indicates has a range of 20,000 nautical miles and is currently docked in Newport, Oregon – comes with its own onboard laboratories and a bunch of equipment for you to bring The Life Aquatic to life.
 
FL30. When I was at sea we would put over the side every night an object that was to read the temperature of the sea at various levels. It was for information to be used for subs as they can hide at various levels. One night we put it in and when it came time for it to be pulled up we found this large piece of equipment had been bit in two. We just looked at each other. Talk about the one that got away. We figured whatever could do that can stay down there.
 
Brains and Boobs: I bought you a great gift, but it's in the middle row, midships at the bottom of the pile. It was a cute puppy.
