I remember the 86 Med cruise, it
was a great cruise once we finished challenging Gaddafi's line
of death. I left the King
in Miami @ the begining of the six month NATO cruise, Iwish i could
have stayed & finished that cruise I heard it was a great one.
I only see one person in the guest book that I served with in B division & that
is BT1 Harris, I hope to see more in the near future. |

I recently made a trip to Bremerton and toured King's
birthplace. My regular duty was in the missle house. Sea and anchor
watch in after steering. I saw a live fire Terrier missile demo for
President Kennedy.USS Mahan had a misfire but King nailed the shot.
Elkins was my chief. GM2 named Chambers looked out for me and taught
me a lot of the ropes. Luckily I was not around when he accidently
fired a .45 round into the overhead during change of guard. he was
embarassd. |

I remember well in the fall of
79 we were leaving the Med. after 6 mos. and were heading back
to Norfolk when Libya was
claiming 200 miles of the Mediterian Sea as their coastal waters
and dared any one to trespass in this area (which was absurd because
this would have included most of Potugal & part of Spain's mainland)

Both good and sad memories. Bringing the King out of
Portsmouth drydock. Losing some friends, Rick and Don. Seeing much
of the world that I otherwise wouldn't have seen. Anyone from the

got in the gun mount now? |
