I honestly can't think of a clue that wouldn't give it away.

CLUE: Served in the Vietnam conflict.

I've tried scattergun searches but there's just too much to look through - the only thing I've got left is animal cunning

Sailor Steve was a radio man wasn't he?

Jimbuna · 10-22-22, 10:19 AM

Was he?

Aktungbby · 10-28-22, 12:19 PM

Fletcher class destroyer?

Jimbuna · 10-28-22, 01:05 PM

Not a Fletcher-class.

CLUE: Decommissioned in the 90's

Aktungbby · 10-28-22, 01:10 PM

Drivin' me nuts! Sailer Steve mentioned his ship and I actually looked it up .... does the vessel name have two syllables or three?

Jimbuna · 10-28-22, 01:17 PM

Two

Bingo! I knew I'd seen this post approx 3-4 years back. USS Brinkley Bass! @ jimbuna: that's 3 syllables though!

I wonder if Sailor Steve knew about this though:

Quote:

Tragically, veterans who served aboard the USS Brinkley Bass were likely exposed to asbestos over the course of performing their regular duties. Until the mid-1970’s, asbestos was frequently found in equipment used on ships like the Brinkley Bass, including boilers, turbines, valves, pumps, and electrical components. Materials such as gaskets and packing were also often made entirely from asbestos. These items were found in an especially high concentration in the boiler and engine spaces, which, when combined with poor ventilation below deck, put the sailors who worked in those areas at a significantly heightened risk. The companies who provided the Navy with this asbestos equipment were often aware of the health risks of asbestos, but did nothing to warn those serving on board the USS Brinkley Bass or its contemporaries. This negligence led to many veterans developing mesothelioma years after their Navy careers had ended.

Navy veterans who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma have a right to seek compensation. Settlements can offset or cover the often overwhelming costs of medical care, and may provide additional sums for pain and suffering endured. It is important to seek legal counsel soon after a mesothelioma diagnosis is made however, as the law limits the time during which a lawsuit can be filed.
