Hello Ship Mates,
between 1967 and 1971, does anyone remember training for Shipboard Hazard and Defense(SHAD)?
Does anyone remember training with the USS Thomas off the coast of Sanfrancisco about 50 miles west?
Does anyone remember the trip to Hawaii and running into a typhoon about a 1000 miles out? I believe two were injured on that trip.
I read someone remembered the early morning trip chasing the Russian spy ship home. It was north tho. Almost to Russia. We fueled at Manchester fuel station on the way back. There was another time when a trip to Acapulco was suddenly canceled.
