I only know he was based out of Mississippi. They had to make sure the subs did sneak in around Florida into the gulf. They used sonar to find them. He used his military experience to develop a career in communications. He never saw any combat though. My son was on the carrier USS Ronald Reagan from it's christening in 2003 until late 2008.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290479049621111721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158406346037964376.post-72354721309326481372019-12-26T10:21:49.239-08:002019-12-26T10:21:49.239-08:00Unknown: Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. ...Unknown: Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. <br />The holidays.
