Hi everyone my father was on the kitty hawk for almost 23 years any ne remember Bobby Flowers?
I was a small child and still remember all the saddness when it was time for him to leave on a cruise and all the excitement when he came home!
Does anyone rememeber getting a coin from the astronauts when the kitty hawk picked them up at sea back in the 60's? was wondering if this was true or not?
thanks a bunch
Most people are only assigned to the ship for 2, 3 or 4 years at a time. Then they are transfered to other duty stations. They may or may not be sent back to the Kitty Hawk.
As far as the astronaut story goes....I have never heard that for the Kitty Hawk. I have three cruise books, 1972, 1974, 1975 that basically discribe the Hawk's history. None of them mention the astronauts. I would say that story is not true.
