[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] The friend I referenced in another thread regarding the aphorisms about the F-4 and F-14 regaled me with many other Navy anecdotes. All this talk of offshore bombardment reminded me of one of them. He was stationed on the [i]Roosevelt[/i] during Desert Storm as a Cryptotech, and he told me about the day bombardment began. One of the monitors in the suite was showing the targeting data the Missouri was using for her 16" guns. Nice peaceful downtown Baghdad street. A bread delivery truck was toodling along, when all of a sudden the street blows up in front of it. The truck screeches to a halt and starts reversing, only to have the street blow up behind it. By this point, the terrified driver's had quite enough, and he gets out and sprints out of view as the third shell takes out the truck itself. :D --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
