It was a basic question and Gary quickly lost every lubber here. And

Now you say Oklahoma.

What Oklahoma are you talking about?

SS Oklahoma, a tanker, sunk at the end of March, 1945 southern North
Atlantic.

No, I don't believe he was.

Are you serious - was he your real grandfather, or are you just
wearing his socks? You know, you can get a mug with his picture on it!

The Oklahoma sunk near the end of the war was sunk by U-532:

He's not my grandfather. My grandfathers fought the Cossacks and the
British.

That PDQ you have is a nice boat.

Amen!

Thanks, I have that link in my collection.

I like this one:
http://www.armed-guard.com/okie.html

My FiL is not on the list as he was Merchant Marine. He was the radio
officer mentioned. This account is as it had been described to me,
except that my FiL says that several old time Merchant seamen died
because they refused to drink water collected in the sails, fearing
that the canvas treatment was poisonous.

Its the same SS Oklahoma that was famously sunk by U-123 in April 1942
off St. Simon's Island. My FiL said no one would have signed on if
they knew it had been sunk before.

He had previously served in the Murmansk Convoys, PQ-17 and PQ-18.


He's not my grandfather. My grandfathers fought the Cossacks and the
British.


At least one of my great-grandfathers came to the US at the
encouragement of the Cossacks.


That PDQ you have is a nice boat.


Thanks. It has served us well.

Amen!


Gesundheit!

All lifeboats should have a sail. So to go somewhere first you need to
know where you are.

You should not row unless it's a short distance, if you have an engine
you should conserve your fuel for a surf landing ect.
