Google News just presented me with this: Network that trafficked stolen antiquities across Europe dismantled with 35 arrests I see that the lead photo in the article includes a number of coins from ancient NGC...
We were suppose to make a port visit to Bulgaria In 1979 during our wonderful Med-fest. Everyone was wondering what retard thought of this? And then the word went around that everyone, even Chiefs and Officers, had to be in uniform to to leave the ship after we got there. Seems the black market paid $200 for Levi Jeans. And they killed people to get them. Captain canceled the visit. Not that it mattered. No one was planning to go anywhere.
A port visit to a Warsaw Pact country in 1979? Is this one of those "sailor's stories," or is this for real?
Oh no it's for real. We had already transited out of the Med and were in the Black Sea before the visit got canceled. Carter was prez. Maybe he drank too much Billy Beer.
