Sea Devil Four

Mr. Abner Luxor, owner of Luxor Studebaker new and used cars, was highly pissed. He had been recalled to duty in the US Navy as a BM3 because he ad experience as an LCVP coxswain in WW2 in the Pacific. Before he left Receiving Station Philadelphia, the power that be learned he had been promoted to BM2 before he actually reduced his time in the USN Reserve. After an ugly trip from California to Taiwan, he joined the ship --- USS LST-666. He was surprised to see an image of a deal painted on the superstructure. It was explained to him that the she was LST-666 that many fundamentalist Christians hated "e;666"e;, it seemed reasonable to name the ship "e;Sea Devil"e;. In fact, the CO managed to convince the Powers That Be, to change his voice call sign to Sea Devil. Luxor very soon learned he was the Amphibious Expert they were expecting. He began crawling all over the LCVPs to determine their readiness. Bad news. None were ready. Luxor and a couple of chiefs almost came to custicuffs as they worked out their relationship. Now, Luxie, got the LCVP crews to learn how to how use and operate their boats. Suddenly, The CO, LT Ezekia 'Zeke' Carter received orders to Kobe, Japan.
