'The Hunt for Red October' author Tom Clancy dies at age 66
desertswo, After seeing Clancy's recognition to the crew in the first few pages of RSR, I'm interested in knowing the dates Clancy was aboard USS Gallery. Do you know? Thanks.

Sir, I'm afraid that desertswo passed away back in 2016. His loss was deeply felt by the board.
“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”
