Command: U.S.S. FLAGG
Primary Military Specialty: Command

Birthplace: Charlottesville, Virginia
Graduated Annapolis and Navy Flight school. Flew Phantom F-4's off the Intrepid in late 60's. Attended the Naval War College in Newport, RI and the Armed Forces Staff College. Holder of the Navy Cross, DFC and Air Medal. Keel-Haul is a respected military historian, a nationally rated chess player and possibly the world's worst clarinet player.
"Keel-Haul was always cool. He could set an F-4 down on a carrier deck at night with half his instruments out and walk away whistling. You know what it's like to land on a carrier at night? Try jumping on a moving skate board while blind folded!"

The 1985 edition of Keel-Haul came bagged with a silver pistol and a red cardback. He features a patch tampo on his right arm (seen above). Early versions will have Made In Hong Kong on the waist piece, while later versions will say Made In China.
The 1989 mail-order version did not come with the patch tampo on his right arm, and do not have the stars painted on the figure's collar.
Later mail-order versions of Keel-Haul had the patch again. Some of the later mail-in versions of Keel-Haul did not come with the pistol.
