The Offspring - "Come Out And Play"

History Lesson Time. Naval Tradition, Breakaway Songs. When Ships Breakaway from each other during UNREP (Underway Replenishment) a Song is Played. Yes I Participated in the 50th Anniversary of VJ Day Parade of Ships onboard USS Arkansas CGN-41 the Presidents Flag Ship. As the Tallest MFer, Senior Spook My Position Manning the Rails is Focsle. After the Parade of Ships past Waikiki which Included 2 Russian Ships. The Tugs Started bringing Us back In and Putting in Our Places on the Piers. They Nosed Us into Hotel Pier and Swung Us Ass Around to Our Spot. Half Way through I Hear the Collision Alarm Screaming "INT WTF" I couldn't see a thing. After We were tied to the Pier and I was released from My Position. I started Inquiring What the Hell Just Happened? One of the BMs Pointed at the Oiler across from Us. Beautiful Key Scrape Along it's Starboard Side. Apparently Our Aft Flag Staff did that. Returning Home Our Oiler, That Ship and Us had to do a Top Off for our JP5 Tanks. When the "Breakaway" Happened. What was Playing? "You Got to Keep them Separated". Just a Bit of Military History and Humor.
