"My 2nd time crossing was with the USS New Jersey (BB - 62) IN 1979, USS Arkansas (CGN - 41) IN 1981 & USS Mount Hood (AE - 29) in 1989 & 1990. I was a Shellback then, so the Wogs were in trouble, but it was fun."

"Thank You Doug. I did'nt know this site existed until I went online. Like to find some of my old Boatswain Mates from 72A to talk over old times there. It was a long 3 year tour.
Again Thank You for your comments."
