*In the above photo, Mike "Deck Ape" Whicker is grilling hamburgers on the stern of the World War II warship LST 325. Whicker was a crewman on the ship during the ship's 2005 Atlantic Voyage. This photo was taken 200 miles off the East Coast of the United States. Shortly after this photo was taken, a US Navy attack submarine (Los Angeles class) surfaced behind the LST. Whicker burned the hamburgers when he ran to his bunk to get his camera.
