If the #Houthis are now ranging out into the Indian Ocean, beyond the #RedSea, #BabelMandeb & #GulfofAden, this poses a more severe threat against global shipping, including US-flagged ships transiting & operating in that area.

@USMMWWII Casino Point is a very popular dive park today. That Roman-looking building looks unchanged.

#OTD April 29, 1943- The McKeesport had an active life well before the night it was struck by the German torpedo. Crew 68 (1 dead and 67 survivors). The survivors were picked up within 30 minutes. theleansubmariner.com/2013/04/29/the…

#OTD SS Mobiloil tanker sunk after valiant resistence by U-108 south of Bermuda on April 28, 1942. No Casualties. The master was convicted of violating convoy routing orders, because he had been ordered to await a convoy off Norfolk, but he proceeded alone.ericwiberg.com/2013/07/ss-mob…
The life of a Merchant Marinen Cadet Ralph Tobiassen. He quit his job in October, 1942, and entered the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at King’s Point.” He was on the Ephraim Brevard when it took part in the Normandy invasion in June, 1944.@USMMA_Alumni pressherald.com/2024/03/19/a-w…
@USMMWWII And despite all the bounties and thousands of Reichsmarks, nobody could catch the Grey Ghost💪💪
@USMMWWII That is the Odessa - lend-lease to Russia during the war. I can look up the hull number when I get to the O'Brien, but I can tell you she was torpedoed in 1943, repaired and used until the 80s. That photo is from her in a scrapyard. She was cut up for her steel in the 2000s.
“Thursday Morning, Congressman and Navy SEAL veteran Ryan Zinke presented the Congressional Gold Medal to Dr. Irvine.” Thank you for your service @RepRyanZinke and Dr. Maury Irvine, WWII US Merchant Marine Radio Officer! kxlf.com/news/montana-n…
Joseph Cash was a member of @SeafarersUnion at age 16. Alcoa Partner was his 1st ship. Joe & 25 crewmen made it Island of Bonaire in a lifeboat. Serving on 3 torpedoed ships, he joined the Navy. Captain Joe retired from teaching in 1982, returned to sea, sailing for Mobil Oil.
