Talk:USS Cochrane

Anything to confirm this? From Cnn.com dated 5 Jan 2009, under headline "Obama to name Panetta to lead CIA, Blair as intelligence chief"

Admiral Dennis Blair, who formerly headed the U.S. Navy's Pacific Command, will be tapped as director of national intelligence, also is known in Navy circles for once trying to water-ski behind the destroyer he skippered, the USS Cochrane. Samuelsenwd (talk) 01:51, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

It is a true story. I don't know of any published documentation, but I have former shipmates who probably have photographs of the incident. Billgx (talk) 02:54, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
