| #17 I'm just happy that GolfBravoUSMC posted an on-topic link instead of the usual "gorilla slips on banana peel" video And we're sooo happy that our resident Mandarin is happy. |

| #16 P-3C used, perhaps the first time in history a P-3 has fired its missiles in combat. Looks like it was a 32 m boat, built by Croatia. PV30-LS E-mail me if anyone can confirm this was a P-3 first. |

| #13 Actually, the stellar service record that got Ens. Parker ONTO the 73 included such gems as "Rammed the dock with a destroyer, while still tied up." |

| #11 I don't know about you but I do feel sorry for all those Libyan spiders. They must be starving because of that no-fly zone. |

| #9 "I think they changed it to a PC-3 for preventative civilian casualty deployments" Yeah, for "peace strikes". |

| #8 "Ensign Mohammad al Parker?" Ensign Parker was a character played by Tim Conway on a TV show called McHale's Navy. If you didn't grow up in the 1960's you probably missed it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1102105/ |

| #7 I think they changed it to a PC-3 for preventative civilian casualty deployments in oversea contingency operations considering but not limited to kinetic military options involving man made disasters. |

| #6 I'm just happy that GolfBravoUSMC posted an on-topic link instead of the usual "gorilla slips on banana peel" video. Never mind the nonsensical headline...Ensign Mohammad al Parker? |

| #5 You're prob'ly right. My mind corrected it to that while I was reading. But a PC-3 sounds so... ummm... Politically correct. |

| #4 I think it should be P-3C |

| #3 Obviously there are still some who think Gadaffy is the team to be on. I wonder why. |

| #2 A U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt said it also fired on two smaller Libyan vessels traveling with the larger ship, destroying one and forcing the other to be abandoned A-10 against a boat? Ouch. |
