Rumor: USS Gonzales was hit and sunk

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Last night on Sightings.com Rense had on Sherman Skolnick in the last hour. It can be heard by clicking on archives and then June 7th. FF to the two hour mark.

Skolnick said that rumors are flying that a U.S. naval warship has been sunk by a russian sub. Evidence given: Ships allow emailing from the ship, but none is being received. Also when the ship's webpage is accessed, it replys that it is down. Other ships in the region are not acting this way. Skolnick is trying to track down the rumors. When naval officers were contacted, the reaction they gave told Skolnick there may be something to it.

He also said that there have been almost twenty American casualties and that the government is not telling the American people.

This post is not to confirm or deny the rumor only to inform.

If the Russians sank it, then it wasn't a speedy Gonzales.

(1) The USS Gonzalez (DDG-66) AEGIS class destroyer is probably based (home ported) on the east coast. Someone on that coast could probably best confirm status with family members.

(2) If a US ship had been sunk, the Navy would have released the information to the media...almost immediately (probably within a few hours). The Navy has been relatively good about this in the past.

Wasn't that pre-Clinton, though? Wouldn't a sunk USA ship hurt Clinton in the polls?

Keep us posted. Doesn't make sense why they would do it now though...all this because they haven't emailed someone?? Isn't there some form of communication besides that????

They must be putting acid in those mysterious contrails now. I think it is intuitively obvious that acid ate up the ship and everyone on it, leaving no trace. There is not other possible explanation for a website to be down AND no e-mail being received. Good detective work, BB.

Got this from a different discussion board.

Spoke w/ the Navy, the DG-66 USS Gonzales is alive & well. Call ships' care line at 800-372-5436, ask for USS Gonzales. Some ships have no current web presence. For good info on a similar destroyer (DG-67 USS Cole, also based at Norfolk), check the following link: http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/factfile/ships/ship-dd.html From: Ag88
