Hey Olly - CG Gunboat Escort?

Postby banknote » Mon Jul 07, 2014 2:15 pm

Hey Olly, over the holiday weekend I watched a ship go by here, sea bound, with small inflatable hull CG boats in front and behind. Both had bow mounted guns. I'd seen the ship a day earlier on it's way to port, but without escort. It had either a Libyan or Liberian flag, not sure which. Any idea what could have been up with that? I also saw what I think was a fuel barge go by with a single escort, but I'm pretty sure that was to discourage any fireworks that may have gotten sent in its direction from shore.

Probably had cargo on it leaving port of a dangerous nature. The CG does hundreds of escorts every day in and out of ports. I did so many while I was at an operational unit my first year, pretty boring stuff. The cruise ships were the best, Galveston has a terminal there and we always escorted them in and out of port. Saw lots of titties on those escorts.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams

Did you just say seeing titties is boring?

Roger :thumbsup: I didn't know if the ship's flag a or heightened security around the holiday had anything to do with it. Unfortunately no titties on this particular ship.
