6. I knew people who stole live 5"38 Anti Aircraft Projectiles
from my destroyer's upper handling room, ( Mount 52 ) to take home to Houston as mememtos. Never could identify them - they were reservists.

As they get older the fuses and detonators become chemically unstable. This happened in Galveston I saw the rounds in the trunk of a car. I keep expecting to hear about a freak explosion happening some where in Texas.
