My shipmate and friend was killed when he was accidentally shot in the head with a .45 while assuming his first armed watch aboard USS Cochrane DDG21 on Christmas morning in 1976

2 of them were from my town. That Captains career is pretty much over. Even tho he was probably sleeping when it happened. Navy is weird like that.
