I was USMC, did a Carib Cruise on the 1162, Wahkiakum County, in late ‘68-’69.

Ours was the Terrell County, 1157, -same class - we were homeported in Yokosuka Japan and made the ‘milk run’ to Okinawa many, many times.
Have often wondered about being in North Atlantic in one of those ‘bath tubs’.....

"Aircraft assigned to Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1 arrive aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65) on day 2 of the ship’s final deployment." Is Enterprise being retired because she's outlived her usefulness, or become outmoded?

...thought my arms were going to fall off by the time we reached the St. Clair river Boy, do I know the feeling. It took me a whole day to recover from piloting that sailboat across San Fran bay and upriver. Never been so wiped out by something in my whole life.
It gave me a great appreciation for the helmsmen of the old sailing ships.

When I see this I wonder how men from several hundred years ago mustered up the courage to go to sea in ships much smaller than what we have today. Thank God for men like them. Very true. Our European ancestors would never have made it to this continent without such brave men to pilot those angry seas.
America owes its very existence to mariners. Interesting, eh?

Great video, thanks for posting. Made me think of this pic:

I remember that picture and several other similar shots of that lighthouse. Makes you wonder how they even built the thing, doesn’t it?

The carrier “work” I did as a young man was the most fun I ever had with my clothes on!
Those intrepid mariners who venture out into the open ocean in small boats are guilty of violating FRank’s Law of the Sea: “Never, never get out of the sight of land in a boat less than 1,000 feet long!”

Engaging the sea in a small boat is a humbling experience.
