Re: Crossing the dateline

George, Found my "Domain of the Golden Dragon" card which states, Known ye that on this 4th of October 1962, at latitude 29'50' n. longitude 180' the USS Kitty Hawk CVA-63 entered the limits of my realm that having been said sane and worthy....etc a dweller of "The Far East". No time was indicated on the card. Hope this works for you.

Emil:

Thank you very much for this information. It will be helpful in completing some of my records.
You were in V-3 Div. do you remember Michael B. French in V-3 Div. on the '63-'64 cruise? Was transferred to Whidby Island after we entered Bremerton Ship Yard?

Re: Crossing the dateline

George, I completed my enlistment after my active duty had been extended for a short period due to the "Cuban Crisis". I left the Kitty Hawk while in the Far East during December of 1962. So, I didn't know the person you mentioned. Take care, Emil
