Farragut (DDG-37) and Aylwin were steaming south after a port call at Bermuda, probably in '75.
We were about 3,000 yards apart when Aylwin went into a little rain squall.  The day was sunny, no swells, and wind over the deck about eight knots.
When she came out of the squall, her topsides were a mess.  In maybe thirty seconds the wind picked up to eighty knots and anything loose was blown away.
An old boatswain mate said this had happened to his old ship, the Keppler, the same way in the late 50s.
Can only imagine what a sailing ship would be like when a microburst with that much wind surprised the crew.

Nah.  I'm still believing that UFOs under the sea have been capturing ships and planes in the triangle since the late 1970's.   :)

I don't think you're alone in your belief.

Nah, I wiped all those underwater alien UFOs out in Operation Terror from the Deep some years ago.

I'd sooner believe it is a giant flying chocolate Jesus than anything posted in the NYPost.

To be fair, the Post just picked up someone else's story.

And who doesn't enjoy a giant flying Jesus?

Don't forget chocolate, the best part of any naval or aviation disappearance.

OK, you guys demanded this.



How is it possible that no one posted this in the thread yet?  ???

That's just too scary. Can we go back to Sea Monsters?
