Sam: I was assigned to the Kitty Hawk in the Fall of 60' while working at the Naval Academy. I was sent to Precom at Little Creek, VA. then on to Camden, NJ in Nov or Dec. waiting for the Hawk to be completed. While I was at Little Creek, they gave me the USS Kitty Hawk shoulder patch. Therefore, my answer is I was attached to the Kitty Hawk 60-61. I was discharged as soon as we dropped anchor in Norfolk, VA in July 61. And yes, I'm still a pollywog!
