Jebel was a two camel shit hole during the first gulf war. I remember ‘Pizza Hut’ tents across from the quay wall. Was so excited for pizza from home after drinking formaldehyde fortified beer, but that pizza was made with goat cheese. Learning curve, Grew on me fast enough
Um, It’s called unrep (underway replenishment) and I’ve done a ton of them. UAE is awesome. Glad you got to live there. Carriers did dock at Jebel in the 90s. It was crowded as fuck when the carrier was in town. The extensions to the main piers in Bahrain and logistics expansion of that facility made it the primary port of call for capital ships during your 8 magical years in country. Um, again I’m not your enemy pal.
Sure. Pull into an Oman port and you’re a sitting duck. Iran has targeted Diego Garcia which is in the middle of the IO. They’re stuck at sea because there is no where safe to park a capital ship in the entire region
Longest deployment we did without a port call was 110 days. It sucked and peeps went a bit mad. We were able to unrep a couple times but at the end we were out of everything but turkey and mashed potatoes. That was the year I learned to like turkey and mashed potatoes. The last 6ish months in the gulf have been the stupidest shit. Hang in there shipmates
Surface combatants have twin MK32 torpedo launchers which use a 2000 PSI air flask. Can’t speak to submarine equipment. Sonar and torpedo men were in the same combat systems division on my sprucan. Spent some quality time loading torpedoes onto SH60s and the launchers.
