...went into the sea near Naples on April 8, left no remains that could be analyzed, but when Comet G-ALYP (Yoke Peter) crashed on Jan. 10 off Elba, its fragments fell into fairly shallow water. Armed with underwater television cameras and special "grab" equipment, a flotilla of British naval salvage vessels and Italian trawlers scoured the bottom, about 500 ft. deep, and fished up the twisted fragments. In all, they got 70% of the structure and 80% of the power plant...
After treatment for his ailing sinuses, Joe McCarthy strode out of Bethesda Naval Medical Center one day last week and immediately began splashing around in the political gutter.

Somehow the ensign raised the cruiser Boise, which devastated the tanks with 38 rounds of 6-in. shells. "General Patton's conversion to the value of naval-gunfire...
...overall director of the department of health, Craig imported Rear Admiral (ret.) Bertram Groesbeck Jr., former commanding officer of the famous Naval Medical Center at Bethesda, Md.

Governor Craig was not deterred by the fact that her brother, Ivan H.
