NorPac in winter. Been there, done that. 1983.When I first saw water over the bow of the Enterprise (70' from WL to FD), I was looking forward from sponson 10 (30' above WL). I do not remember getting back inside. I think I teleported....They secured the weather deaks right after that.
That is incredible.Guys on F-frigates used to joke about getting submarine pay for at least half of a North Atlantic crossing... But no landlubber like me would ever expect life lines to be strung on a carrier!
Is the DoD still giving the Kittyhawk to India (on the proviso that they buy a fleet of Superhornets to launch off it)?
Sod giving it to India. We need it. And we will take any F14s that haven't been scrapped yet.
