Introduction

[navyeod]

I spent Five years in the Navy from 1965-70. Two tours in Vietnam as Navy Eod. (explosive ordnance disposal). Diving demolition and bomb disposal. Got to blow a lot of things up. No more effective way to fish. We had the old 17 boston whalers that we used over there in some operations with a 50 horse chrysler engine that was designed to be super quiet. the cowling also insulated the heat as well as the sound and they failed often. We had a 30cal. machine gun mounted to the forward bulkhead, made quite a gunboat.
