De-classified CIA report on Libya, this is an interesting part of history that led up to the attack in 1986 that my battle group was part of. A long read but very well worth the time if you are interested in what goes on behind the scenes.

LCDR (Join to see) My ship was also part of the the attack on Libya in 1986. I remember all the briefings in the wardroom, and was provided additional info due to my GQ station as a WEC. I found this info very interesting and it gave me a lot of history that led up to our attack. I was always amazed at how little recognition for this attack was given to the units involved, given how successfully it was executed, not to mention how extensively we damaged the Libyan Military and the country's infrastructure and the royal palace!!

LCDR (Join to see) Now, you made me look up the Greek word for thank you, and when I saw it written out phonically as a Greek would say it, I can see how "I found the STO" got you close to Thank you in Greek. I have a Greek Niece and I will try it out on her!
