T. A. Gardner is on a distinguished road
Since I've put it up elsewhere here is one of me on another site. I'm on the right about two-thirds of the way down the page. The other guy runs the site. You might want to peruse this site, particularly if you like sea stories or a version of the US Navy you don't get from official sources.....
