I have seen that boat many times off the side of US-1 on the way north to Bath. Never stopped. I have been aboard a few boats..both when I was in the Navy and when I worked for Defence Contractors afterward. I have even been aboard a
British Fast attack boat when it showed up in Newport some time ago.
Memory's from an old
Surface Puke who worked with the "Boats". There was a friendly rivalry then. I don't take that term as a put down..
The
Bubbleheads referred to Surface Ships as
TARGETS.
