....in wargames with a ASROC. You may ask yourself how a 25 year old DDG of the ADAMS Class which was built primarily for AAW sank a super quiet 688 Class...it
was the USS HOUSTON to be exact, well, let me tell you.
After getting "Sunk' every night- 3 nights straight by the HOUSTON, a SN Messcrank noticed that one of the bags of trash he just threw over was following us. The bag had gotten stuck on the sub's periscope and they never knew it. So the Skipper ordered a double back and we "Sank' them with an ASROC.
Some times lucky is as good as skilled.
