One stout, recently retired 40 foot military UTB vessel looking forward to quiet days ahead – CHECK. One SDBM truck and trailer to transport same from North Island Air Station Coronado to undisclosed location near China Lake, CA – CHECK. One giant pit in the desert for weapons testing – CHECK. Wait. What!? Is this thing going to end up getting used for target practice? It’s getting it’s own little lake in the desert, but I don’t think this is the retirement it had in mind….
