I went on two West Pac cruises with Amphibious Squadron one in the early 1960's. None of the ships were air conditioned. We were always short on fresh water because the boilers required it and were down to a handful of rice apiece once, lucky it had bugs in it at least we got a little protein. What kind of wussy boys do you plan on transporting?

I was in the U.S. Gator Navy for 18 months in the early 1960's....Not one was air conditioned, not even the flag ship. I remember we had to sleep on deck in the Philippine sea because it was hot & stuffy down below. Woke up before dawn eat up by mosquito's....The Marines were the only ones whining. Fleet sailors were used to it. After a couple of landings on pacific jungle hell holes they toughened up and took it like sea going men---- They never did get over being sea sick though. The Navy cooks liked to serve greasy food the first few days out., I dunno they did it to new sailors also so their was no special hard on for Marines other that them not being sailors. What the heck sailors before our time had it worse....hard tack and salt pork & stale water. You diggers want to go to sea SUCK IT UP and quit your damn crying. Bunch of Land lubbers. ;)P

No wonder you have a third world Navy, you spend your money on A/C & other comforts rather than weapons.....What a bunch of wuss puss's---- Rec China is going to have you for lunch. tsk tsk tsk
