Welcome to SixthFleet.Com, the Cyberspace Home of author David E. Meadows. "When Meadows' men set sail, it's sure to be a mission like no other." --W.E.B. Griffin "Rip-snorting, realistic action-adventure from a man who has been there. David Meadows is the real thing," --Stephen Coonts author of numerous bestsellers, including Flight of the Intruder, Saucer, America, and Liberty. "An absorbing, compelling look at America's future place in the world. It's visionary, and scary. Great battle scenes, believable heroes, plus villains you'll love to hate!" -Joe Buff, bestselling author of Straits of Power, Tidal Rip, and Crush Depth. "David E. Meadows is simply the best writer of naval thriller/adventure fiction out there today." --Tom Wilson, acclaimed author of Black Canyon, Desert Fury, Tango Uniform and other best selling military thrillers.

The difference between a sea tale and a fairy tale is that a sea tale starts with, "This ain't no BS………"

Like most, if not all of you, I receive 'beaucoup de humor' via the Internet and I save a lot of them. (Yes, that was French, but I believe in learning as much as you can about your adversary.) Like this one below, I don't know who wrote it or from whence it came, but I enjoyed it to no end. So, to the author, my respects for a well spun Sea Tale.

The Admiral and his EA
By Unknown

A retired four-star Admiral ran into his former EA, also retired, in a downtown bar and spent the rest of the evening persuading him to come work for him as his valet.

"Your duties will be exactly the same as they were in the Navy," the Admiral said. "Nothing to it - you'll catch on again fast."

Next morning promptly at eight o'clock, the ex-EA entered the ex-Admiral's bedroom, pulled open the drapes, gave the Admiral a gentle shake, strode around the other side of the bed, spanked his employer's wife on her butt and said, "OK, sweetheart, it's back to the village for you."
