[QUOTE=LI_Domer;94883]Sorry Cap. But…
It was the 3/M on watch (a KP Grad btw) on the Valdez.[/quote]
Sorry LI_Domer but Cousins was not from any academy…the AB on watch (Maureen Jones) was but I cannot recall which school she was from? The story going around AK at the time was that Cousins was hitting on her out on the bridgewing just before the grinding screech happened. He was an incompetent and Hazelwood should have known he couldn’t be trusted on the bridge by himself. Hell, he should have told Jones to call him the second she saw any danger which she did. Too bad though she just told Cousins who should have ordered emergency astern rather than the try to miss the reef. Doubtful VALDEZ could have stopped in time but with less speed the number of tanks breached might have been lessened and a smaller spill as a result.
Heiwa you seriously have zero credibility.
This however you got SPOT ON RIGHT! Heiwa is a BOZO and only a STOOPID FOOL stays here to continue to receive such a lambasting!
