		Once, in January of 1971, we were assigned during local ops in San Diego to act as an enemy submarine to the USS Gurnard (SSN-662) while she was doing her workup to deploy to WestPac.
		Gurnard did not have our op-plan, but she was to try to track us, fire simulated torpedoes, and then open out and regenerate the problem until the end of the exercise.
		One night after Gurnard returned to port, one of the Menhaden crew (SK2 Steve Rose) put on a wetsuit and quietly swam over to where Gurnard was moored (alongside the Nereus), pushing a cardboard box containing a can of white paint and a paint brush.
