Remember somebody was about to be thrown down the 'you know what' stairs? "I was standing outside the building when McKee and Lapal came along, and they said "What's the matter kid?" I told them what happened. "Okay go on back up." I got almost to the top of the 2nd landing when the gorilla stepped out but, before he could say anything, M&L said, "He's with us." The gorilla took one look at M&L, and then he did a 180 and went back inside. M&L were both about 6 foot 2, or 6 foot 3, and about 225, all muscle, no steroids in these guys. After that I had no more problems getting into the 'Watering Hole." "Guardian Angels," Oh Yea! The crew was told that there were about 167 inhabitants on Bikini. We soon noticed that the women were completely naked, and the men wore only lion clothes, this soon ended after the fleet moved in. Both male and female Bikinians, started to wear a wraparound type of skirt and the inhabitants were soon moved to a compound." So my other Marshall Island buddy from another RWS Report, says that he remembers, when his own stepmother and his pal saw his other Hooligan Navy buddy right here in the hospital. Hum. Okay. He may have been recuperating alright, but not from the army, but prison. Woe. A few years later Roselli was instrumental in ensuring my older brother was safe from any undue harm at the hands of a freight yard railroad bull. The I-25, A Midget Submarine and California's Channel Islands. Early in World War II nine Type B-1 aircraft equipped long range Japanese Imperial Submarines were strategically located along the North American Pacific west coast in areas considered best suited to attack shipping lanes most commonly used by American merchantmen. The nine submarines in numerical order and their locations were: I-9 Cape Blanco, Oregon I-10 San Diego, California I-15 San Francisco Bay, California I-17 Cape Mendocino, California I-19 Los Angeles Harbor, California I-21 Estero Bay, California I-23 Monterey Bay, California I-25 Columbia River, marks the border dividing Washington state and Oregon I-26 Strait of Juan de Fuca, U.S. and Canada international boundary Official records cataloging the movements of the I-25 clearly indicate she traveled from her usual Pacific northwest theater of operation, as listed above, to at least as far south as Point Arguello along the California coast. Although no official reason for doing so has ever been given, intermingled with the I-25's timeline of operation is a strong substantiating co-factor that a Japanese midget submarine possibly holed up on one of the Channel Islands not far from Point Arguello during the same period the I-25 was in the south, albeit extrapolated from a rather unconventional source.
