I was stationed on the " Starship Vinson" from 1981-1985, She was in Newport news Va when i Reported to her, I'm a Plankower ( I don't know what part i own ) , I took her around the world the LONG WAY , 8 1\2 mounths . I was in Deck 2nd Div , Became a Masterhelsman on that cruise, All so a Royal Diamond Shallback . Just wish i had learned a trade when i was in there, Should have made rank higher then a seamen . At that time i did see why i needed to make rank , I was young & did not know what i wounted to with my life. You live a you learn , Let me tell you i learned alot after 4 years in the Navy.

i never had the pleasure to serve on that great lady,, ie all ships are ladies,did know a CWO and he loved her,i think in some ways i am telling his ueligy,, pardon the spelling,, i still have issues with rank.to be honest i do not know about the Vinson, never servered on her, but he held her in high degree, enough so that he actally talked to his family about it, where he never talked about anything.i know that i am horrible because i love the battle ships and the big guns,not sure how to do…
