The reason you welded your buoys down was because Flasher had her after one pop loose off Florida in Sept 1966 on our way to Hawaii. We surfaced and called for tugs to come and get the buoy. We we went into Ft Lauderdale and had it reinstalled and straps welded over them. After that it was decided that all buoys would be welded down before patrol and the straps cut off on return to port. We started a trend!!!  | ||

Learned many years ago, ones income doesn't equate to any measure of intelligence. As a self described meme aficionado, I believe this one fits.

As one of the thousands of submariners worldwide I commiserate with the tragic loss of human life and extend my sincere condolences to the families involved. However, this was not a military operation. This was purely a money-making venture by Ocean-Gate Expeditions to sell highly-priced places on their submersible “Titan” to view the wreck of the liner “RMS Titanic” 2.5 miles below on the bed of the North Atlantic Ocean. Only the rich could afford these trips which would not have given them any better views of the Titanic than those already captured on previous videos of the site but they felt compelled to go on this ill-fated adventure. The 19-year-old son of one of the passengers was terrified at the prospect but his father was so insistent on his attendance that he obeyed his father which sadly led to both their deaths. It should be borne in mind that the strongroom on the Titanic contains tons of gold bullion, jewels, and valuable treasures. These diving companies all hang together hoping for some future ingress to this vast treasure trove once the necessary technologies arrive to access it. In the meantime, they continued to sell off high-priced descents to the wreck to keep themselves financially afloat with a submersible of what now seems doubtful in its quality for the massive depths it was built to operate in. All this was carried out despite the fact it is a grave site in international waters where a modicum of respect for the dead is expected for the original 15,000 Titanic victims and the newly added group from the Titan allowing them to rest in peace in perpetuity. This looks unlikely to happen as 10 days after the tragedy Ocean-Gate Expeditions are already advertising on its website for bookings for the next two years down to the RMS Titanic. Money doesn’t just talk it also swears it seems. Pedro  | ||
