Remember the civillian crew that went with us on Wespac '66? They would go to the fantail and drag bottom samples in their tin cans. I later found out that they were looking for oil!!! Were we used or what??

Yes, and I remember we called them mud muckers.

I remember those guys also, alledgely(sp)they were doing some sonar work, but the one thing I really remember was the RAIN, enough to suffocate the drops were so big...

I seem to remember that they had a equip. room like a small shipping container secured to the ASROC deck. It had all kinds of cables running out of it to who knows where.
I think someone told me that they were recording voiceprints of Russky subs. Thats why were were up in the Sea of Japan.

I don't know why, but I really don't remember those jokers. I was there, but I guess we all paid attention to different things. Maybe if I think about it, it might come back. That has happened a lot in the past couple of weeks with the help of you guys.
