He was lounging in his bunk Stbd side. Without a word, he reaches down under his mattress and extracts a big Rasp file. With the other hand he peals back a tiny piece of the rubber insulation on a hull rib, and draggs the file across the edge EEEErrrrrrrrrrrppppppppbbbbbb! Then hides it away under the mattress. We were all paralyzed ! He says, "There's a hydrophone in the ballast tank right here. Drives the Sonarmen nuts" !!!
