Starbuck: If you're gonna play with the big dogs...

Boomer: No fair.

Helo: I'm in. That's you, XO. (He's says something to Starbuck.)

Boomer: Hey.

Starbuck: And then you're betting against Starbuck. (Helo makes a 'bring it on' gesture.)

Pearl Harbor: Fifty Years of Controversy

Charles Lutton


Commander Charles Hiles wrote the best article to yet be published concerning the "Bomb Plot" Messages. Tokyo requested specific information about the movement and location of major warships berthed at Pearl Harbor. On December 3, the Japanese consul in Honolulu, Nagao Kita, informed Tokyo that he had set up a system of codes confirming the movement of various American warships through the use of signals in windows at Lanikai Beach, which could be spotted by off-shore "fishing" boats and submarines. This vital information could then be passed on to the Japanese carrier task force. The signal system would operate through December 6th. The Kita messages to Tokyo were intercepted and decrypted by U.S. intelligence. Thus, Washington knew that Pearl Harbor was likely going to be attacked and by what date. None of this information was passed along to the U.S. Army and Navy commanders at Pearl Harbor.

Navy Divers Frocking Recovers Piece of Tradition

Story Number: NNS121203-22 Release Date: 12/3/2012 9:01:00 PM

By Mass Communication Specialist Second Class Steven Hoskins, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (NNS) -- Navy Divers recovered a piece of tradition during a frocking ceremony at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story Nov. 30.

Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit (MDSU) 2 frocked three Navy Divers in an unfamiliar fashion to what most Sailors have witnessed in today's Navy, during a ceremony called "Tacking on of the Crow," in which Sailors, took turns stitching on petty officer rating badges, or crows, to the sleeves of the newly-promoted Sailors, representing their new rank.

"I've been in the Navy for three years and have never seen anything as professional and heritage-related as the ceremony we had today," said Navy Diver 3rd Class Daniel Parson, assigned to MDSU 2. "Usually, it's congratulations, a hand shake and you're given your crow, but this ceremony felt like it meant more."

While standing on center stage, the commanding officer sewed the first stitch with the expectation of the Sailors to accept their new responsibility and authority. The executive officer sewed the second stitch, while reminding the Sailors of the importance of the small details, where even the most mundane administrative task is important to the mission. The command master chief sewed the third stitch, and highlighted his role to the Sailors as a direct representative of the ideal goals of the petty officer.

The fourth stitch was sewn on by the officer in charge, the immediate senior, whose orders they have sworn not just to obey, but to understand and interpret those orders. The fifth stitch was sewn by master diver, their deckplate mentor and the one who has the most influence to shape, guide and help the petty officer in both his daily routine and his career progression.

The sixth stitch was sewn by the Sailors' peers, who help them get the job done and survive day-to-day. The seventh stitch was sewn by family because no Sailor operates alone. Whether it be friends or family, each Sailor has a support structure outside of working hours that keeps him focused and grounded.

Once the crow is fully tacked on the Sailors, uniform, you can no longer tell the difference between the first tack and the last tack. It symbolizes equal holding of all who sewed the crow and equal support to the new petty officers.

"The ceremony showed the support of everyone throughout our command," said newly-frocked Navy Diver 1st Class Tyler Smith, assigned to MDSU 2. "It showed the people who helped us get to where we are and the people that respect us for how far we have come."

"Tacking on of the Crow" dates back to the Royal navy and days of the sail. Upon the arrival of the industrial age, sail and canvas gave way to engines and steel. The method of the tack transformed from sewing to punching, like the piston of a machine. Over the years, the ceremony slowly evolved into hazing, opposite of its original tradition.

"The message got skewed," said MDSU 2 Command Master Chief Scott Brodeur. "It went from being positive and upholding and showing the good deed of the Sailor and seamanship, to something people were evil about. From that point, it was no longer about a positive message."
