"they also serve, those that stand and wait" there are those that don't consider me a viet vet because I only sreved on ship that stood of the coast and provided NGFS. They think there is no risk. I consider being shot at by a 200mm shore battery a risk. Especially when all you have to shoot back with is 5" guns (aprox. 126mm). We did have the advantage of movement where they were in a fixed position.
