I was on Grand Cayman circa the early '80s. I took a day to tour around the island, and somewhere (Bodden Town area?) along the way to East End, offshore about 500 yards or so, was a USN warship which had run aground. It faced bows on toward shore, a huge, rusting hulk of non-deniability left over from the Bay of Pigs era, very visibly belying the U.S. claim of only minimal naval presence in the region during that time of very heightened U.S. - U.S.S.R. tensions.
I recently visited Grand Cayman, and had the chance to cruise eastward along the south coast. No boat, which was not a surprise. What was surprising, however, was the complete lack of any memory of it having been there. No one seemed to know anything about it. I've done some cursory research, but so far have come up empty. I'm wondering if anybody out there has any information, memories, etc., regarding this? Of course, it could be I'm simply hallucinating again, but I don't think so. The hallucinations always come with soundtracks, the good ones, Hendrix, the inexpiable ones, Iron Butterfly.
Thanks for any help here.
