Sea Control 156: Sink the Montana! - Part 1

In 1986, at the height of the Cold War, GI Joe released an episode featuring the @USSConstitution rescuing the Atlantic Fleet from the rogue battleship USS Montana. In this first collaboration between Sea Control and @hallpreble, @pptsapper, @cgberube and @jwsc03 break down the episode and its historical origins. In part 2, Dr. Berube interviews the show's writer, David Carren. Jared is also REQUIRED to stipulate here that Dr. Berube was correct in both the argument about Continental Navy uniforms AND, per GI Joe canon, Shipwreck is a Chief Petty Officer.
