Crickets have been the response. Ob. Taranto, somewhere in our vast archives (which, much to the dismay of Mrs. Scribe, closely resemble the last scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark...) we have pics of Taranto from one of our anchorages on IKE during a MED deployment long ago... - SJS Sometimes (OK, often times) we wonder who does the fact checking for History channel and have on occasion offered our services.
