ironroad 218 Posted October 3, 2007 it is. I still have an audio tape of that and it is the same engagement. I remember that one all too well. Well I have the audio and a few documentaries that feature the engagement. I have never seen the TCS, just the last second gun camera footage of the winder shot and strike. So I did not know if the video was authentic or not. But it appears to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Saganuay82 Posted October 11, 2007 Your part of the engagement? What part were you involved in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Typhoid 231 Posted October 11, 2007 Your part of the engagement? What part were you involved in? I was the TAO for the 6th Fleet Commander on the flagship. As such, although not flying in the engagement, I was an indirect participant in the action from the time the Floggers started moving until it was all over. I was the first one in the fleet to call a threat inbound. Having said that, the Officer in Tactical Command under whose direct command the engagement occured was the Carrier Group Commander an echelon below the Fleet Commander. CARGRU commander (actually his TAO) is the one you hear in the audio giving the Warning Yellow call. That is the direct involvement, the Fleet level where I was is more accurately an indirect involvement. it certainly kept me busy during that watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Saganuay82 Posted October 11, 2007 So you were ALPHA WHISKEY and we heard ALPHA BRAVO the OTC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Typhoid 231 Posted October 11, 2007 So you were ALPHA WHISKEY and we heard ALPHA BRAVO the OTC. Negative. Alpha Whiskey is the Anti-Warfare Command who works for Alpha Bravo who was the OTC. Either of them could have issued the Warning Yellow and I do not know for certain which one did, though I think in this case it was Alpha Whiskey. The next one up the chain is Alpha Alpha who is whom I worked for and that covered the entire Med. So I had a ring-side seat, so to speak, and was plugged into the event from prior to start to past the end keeping my boss, the 3-star in command of the Sixth Fleet in the loop, but no direct hand in the events as they occured.
