Don that was a very good discription I remember it very well. Anytime since that day when I hear someone say we ought to nuke them it makes me cringe.

I know I was there on the date but don't remember any of it at all. Being a snipe and stayed a lot below the 2 ND deck and on a lot of 6 on 6 off shifts in the #2 Boiler room there was little time to much else. I always loved to go out at night on the starboard sponson off the fan tail and watch the power of the ships screws pushing us along and to see all the stars. Back there no one ever messed with you either.

Hi Don I was in the V3 from 1962, 1964. Remember your last name. I think we did some shore leave together.

Hi Chuck, I do remember you too. I just sent you an e-mail Don
