The crew chief was underneath the starboard sponson, trying to unseat the landing-gear pin, when my copilot released the brakes. |
This is again in the turn, when the right front side or sponson digs into the water and the boat does a barrel roll ending up upside down. |
A key issue is the cleanliness of the hangar bay, sponson and door light-locker. |
The cutter jingled her full-speed bell while the tackle was still lifting the sponson boat. |
A bomb exploded directly beneath the sponson, where the dead body had fallen. |
The next thing I remember was someone on another sponson throwing me a life ring, which landed about five feet from the hull of the ship. |
