On the USS Ranger there was a 'man overboard' alarm sounded one day and that caused a full muster roll call to determine who was missing. The ship was paralyzed for about 30 minutes while this went on and the only person not accounted for was yours trully! I had been on an inventory working party in one of the storerooms where we kept sundries for the ship's store and didn't hear the announcement for all hands to report to their mustering locations. I just kept counting soap and shaving cream boxes. Luckily, just when my division officer was about to confirm that I was the missing man someone remembered where I was and came and got me before it got more serious. The PA system in the storeroom got some repairs after that. Regards Bill [/QUOTE]
