Task & Purpose: Sailor Thought To Have Fallen Overboard Found Hiding In Engine Room Of USS Shiloh

WNU Editor: Multiple ships spent days looking for him .... not counting the stress to shipmates and family. I can only imagine the consequences on what is going to happen next.

Big Chicken Dinner.

They may have wasted 1 to 2 hours of everyone E7 & above on the Shiloh and that is on top of the search and rescue.
