3/24/84 AT 2200 I FELT AND HEARD THE BUMP IN THE NIGHT. I HAD JUST GOTTEN INTO MY RACK WHEN MY FRIEND NAME PEREZ CAME BY. HE WAS ALL VERY EXACTED THATS WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT WE JUST RAN OVER A RUSSIAN SUB. I REMEMBER IT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY. I DID BELIEVE IT UNTIL THE CAPTAIN CAME ON OVER THE 1MC TO STATE THAT THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE. WHILE ON BOARD MY LAST SHIP THE USS RECOVERY I READ ABOUT THE INCIDENT IN A BOOK CALLED ACCIDENTS AT SEA. 9 YEARS LATER. WE WERE TOLD NO ONE WAS HIT AT THE TIME, BUT THE BOOK STATEED THAT SOME OF THE RUSSIAN SAILORS DEAD ON THE SUB. ALSO RECENTLY I HEARD ABOUT THE CHINESE SUB FOLLOWING THE GREAT SHIP. MY THOUGHTS QUICKLY WERE BACK TO MARCH 1984. I HATE TO SEE HER GO, I ALSO HOPE THEY DO NOT SINK HER IN MY LIFE TIME.
