Makes you wonder about all of those "Friendly Fire" reports, huh

There must be a Canadian ship nearby.

Of course, there is the flag man's response:

"Alright! Alright! Maybe the Yankees WILL beat the Royals this weekend! Sheesh!"

Whoah! During the Viet Nam war, a similar incident occurred onboard the U.S.S. Forrestall with devastating results. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

If it was fired, it would just be a blur. What do I know, we didn't have carriers in the USCG

I saw similar things on the Nimitz while I was onboard. Most often it was drop tanks that had cracked mount points or were on faulty hardpoints.

You're right about it being a lot of g's. No wonder they pop loose once in awhile... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

<hr /></blockquote>It is definitely on the angled portion of the deck as can be discerned by the broad white stripes between the deckhand and the Sidewinder. Just the thought of live ordnance sliding on the deck gives me the willies!!
