At random: "I don't know why we have to be down here on this hold down exercise(at the 60th hour). Hell, I went through this on the Thresher (SS 200) during WW ll with a Nip Sea Going Tug hooked onto our screw guards, trying to lift our butts out of the water. They didn't get us then, and these Tin Cans (ours) ain't going to get us now." -- "Hambone" Hamilton SD1 (SS). "Hambone" made 13 war patrols on USS Remora, SS-487, uttered these words in July 1957 during a hold down exercise off Kobe Japan.

and after I used it I was so drunk I went outside and fell in a Benji ditch in my dressed whites.
Marines at gate didn't even look at my ID they held there nose and told me to get lost.

Crew made me sleep on the dock until someone had courage to bring me new clothes -- that uniform went into the deep six bin and not on the boat

There was the one in Yokosuka that was a bare hole in the floor with aluminum foot locators on each side. The hole was hard to hit after a quart of rum or a dozen bottles of Asahi or Akadama.

Well not exactly that very one but I have used one justlike it at the home of my buddies girl friend and at the bars in yoko that I frequented when there 1962 -1963. We were there 7 months. "Jesus Christ we're out of rice, chopstick gone, binjo broke, typhoon come we all die soon"!!!

Wouldn't recognize it, it is to good looking. Someone must have cleaned it. Cora, depending on youe business, if male, you either squatted over it or stood to one side of it. The more stylish ones had a hose to flush it.
