Some of that crap you find overseas isn't a waste in an engine...just make sure you filter really good first. I'd hate to see a good
engine like that get worms or something....
And FWIW, we would typically train to drop off swimmers at 3000m out. And, hope we had the tide charts right. We had a captain in '82 just about lose a team off Vieques for not doing that right. Another captain had us do a side swim across the bay just upstream from the Panama City, FL Bridge. Then couldn't understand why he hit his head on a bridge piling (then again on the abuttment
)...hold on
, that's still too funny. Back in the day, in the 1 BN Rgr, it wasn't considered important enough for any of the officers to attend the Scuba, Scout Swimmer(MTT), or Eng./Demo courses. But, they would lead these ops... Thankfully, they were just training missions.
