What is the Ustafish ?
Dott. PIergiorgio
certain Ustafish and I don't understand, I guess only that's a ship, but I
don't find trace of an USS/HMS/whatever else Ustafish....
Someone can be kind enough to explain to me ?
Best regards from Italy.

Four score & seven years ago.......... Ustafish is the offical home ship of
SCI.Military.NAVAL and the nerds like myself who post here. Name goes back to
early 1990's when the group got started. Christ I still remember using Mossaic
then..... gee time flys by.

I started with Mosaic, and then on to Netscape... until it became such a
bug-ridden piece of rubbish I switched to IE... Conspiracy be damned, Netscape
became crap..... Still use the antique WinVN for news.....

In the US Navy, submarines used to be named after fish. So the expression
"Ustafish" refers to a previous sub (or 'fish', since subs were named after
fish) the author served on. As in "When I used to be on the ____"

Started with rn in '92 or so, moved onto for most stuff by '95 (though
it was awful slow compared with rn). Still use it. Not kept track
of version numbers, though.

Everybody together...

Unless, of course, you have some useful skill or information to buy
your way onto the crew. Like knowledge of 100's of cases of good,
unguarded vino conveniently stored close to shore... Or perhaps the
location of a storehouse of prosciutto we can visit one late night...

THINK of the possibilities...

I would like to point out that SecDet has converted all the torpedo tubes,
missile tubes, and some fuel tanks into bulk scotch and whiskey storage, Nor is
there any room left in the torpedo room for torpedoes since SecDet move all the
stills there to make room for their firing range. We are just to relay on
ramming our target until we find more room.
