When Growler crew members went ashore for liberty on Midway Island, they were fascinated by the local Laysan Albatrosses, commonly called gooney birds. Elegant in flight, these seabirds are less coordinated on land. Growler crew were so charmed by their behaviors that they became an unofficial crew mascot. #gooneybird #growler #midwayisland #birdsoftiktok #funnybirds #albatross #submarinelife #submarine #navylife
