I went aboard with VA-35 in 1963 just prior to the '63 Med cruise. While in the Med, we had a flight spotted on the fantail for launch at night and one of the recovering planes came in and landed all amoungst them-Heck of a fire on the flight deck.
I served on board fom 1965 - 1969 was in S-3 div had great times did crazy things was proud of my ship & shipmates great bunch of guys miss my mates and the sea stay true stay strong navy live on
Has anyone besides myself wondered why there is not another Saratoga out there in the Fleet? Just who or what needs to be done to place another "Big Sara" out there? Why not take part of the old Sara and remelt her as part of a new Sara before someon
