1997
So many years back.
January 1997
I was on board the HS Nearxos D-219 an Adams class DDG reaching the end of my conscript time in the Hellenic Navy.
Stationed in the CIC of the ship I had a full 21 months time there , having eye witnessed the Imia crisis in 1996 up close and even a small fire en route with caused an injured crewman (mechanic). (The events are unrelated)
D-219 was the ex USS Waddell DDG-24
She is now resting at her final place , on the bottom of Suda bay Crete as she was used as a target with live fire.
Thank you

Happy birthday once more SUBSIM
