Do you remember an HT2 Linhart?

I checked on board while she was still in drydock at PNSY, and was there the rest of the time. 1990-1993. Lots of fond memories of that time.

I served on the Hawk May 28,1986 - Jan 4,1990
I made the world cruise and was there for the major part of SLEP. I was in the Weapons Dept. After we moved off the ship I stayed in barracks 1031 next to the galley at PNSY. What I loved about it was that I still got my sea pay for the entire time I was there.

I left just before they moved back onboard (timing is everything). I was on shore duty at Pax River with Strike Aircraft Test Directorate, I got to ride the Hawk out of the yards and was part of the flight deck ACLS certification team from Pax River.

The last time I was on her was in 1996 as a Naval Reservist,where I spent my two week annual training by choice.

I think the coolest part for me was, I was flown (helo)onboard when I first served on her and I was flown off by helo the last time I sailed with her.

I CAME TO PHILLY IN THE SUMMER OF 91 I WAS SH3 REYNOLDS FROM S3 DIV
