They had guitars out there? Scuttlebutt During AJAX ' s latest adventures in the Indian Ocean, Kadaffi and her merry men in Lybia gave the crew quite a scare. Rumors were cir- culating that the women crewmembers would be left behind in Diego Garcia while our ALL male crew would join forces with the USS Sara- toga battle group in the Persian Gulf. The ru- mor persisted until a press release from Presi- dent Reagan saying the situation was not yet critical appeared in Stars and Stripes, which the crew received approximately two weeks after the rumor began. 1980s Beauties
