     No idea what the other SP guys were carrying.   
     I was in the waiting area for the motor launch back to the ship moored in   
   the harbour.     
     Like I wrote, it was temporary duty, filling in.  I wasn't regular SP.   
     I think the worse we had was maybe some guy who had had a bit too much to   
   drink and passed out.  :)   
     We were dealing with other shipmates.  My ship, the Newport News was a   
   heavy cruiser with 1000 men onboard.

     We didn't have any problems like that on my ship.   
     During my time we were usually around the Caribbean visiting friendly   
   islands.  :)

     There were 250 who lost their lives.
