I s I o N So, you say AEGIS Cruisers don ' t do ASW, well how do you explain the SIX torpedoes shot in the Mayport basin to verify the operation of our torpedo tubes? And how about the 1000 + hours of Submarine and Non-Submarine contact time? There ' s something about going to the beautiful Bahamas just to drop another SEVEN torps and conduct a few torpedo evasions. Afterall, it takes only one torpedo to ruin your whole day, or at least add one more job to the PSA package. But we managed to follow the trail of the 189 SONOBUOYS we dropped back home for a little R R before heading down to the big leagues — GTMO! That grueling weekend of ASW, calculating an average score of 99.2 out of a possible 100 over a total of 38 graded exercises. Time for refurbishment back at Ingall ' s. All that to prevent the premature sagging of the SONAR Dome, which should only come with age. It ' s that layer of 217 XBTs which led us back to Mayport. And what do you do with ST ' s on Counter Narcotics operations? Didn ' t ATOI stand for ASW TakeOver Initiated. Oh well, if this is the first year of ASW life onboard, it ' s no wonder the Soviets disbanded and tied up their submarines! Look out Med, here HUE come! 43
