Happy Thanksgiving

It's been 39 years since the Thanksgiving described in this post.

Read the POD closely. Note that there is an officer designated as the CDO, or "Command Duty Officer". That might seem odd, given that the ship was at sea. But if there was a security alert, the CDO was the one who would go around to all of the guarded stations and personally tell them to secure upon his passing the word over the 1MC.

Secondly, note the name of the CDO. That was this guy. He was probably on the CNO track until he got embroiled in this mess.
