Hi All,
I heard recently that the USS Kitty Hawk was to be decommissioned in 2008 and would like to attend the ceremony. In April 1961, I joined the crew of the Kitty Hawk, at the dock, in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, where she was being fitted out.
A year later, the ship and I parted company, but it was probably one of the best experiences I ever had.
Hope to see many of you, at the reunion, in August.
Bob,
your name sounds familiar, but time passed and I am not sure who you are. I was also on the commissioning crew and went to sea on the Hawk on her first cruise. I was in Fox div.
