  I did two med floats on the ike i was in dc division first med i think i spent half of it in list control now if anyone doesnt know where that is it is close to the keel of the ship the propeller shafts are 10 feet above your head. My second med float iwas a Dc3 and stood dcws watch alot nicer place to stand watch as dc central is airconditioned. I left Ike shortly after that and went to the gator navy, what a shock to the system that was.

  I was stationed on IKE in the middle 80's and got out during that "re-up, extend or get out" program while on the Med '88 cruise. Made my goal of becoming SM2 while there - best ship and crew and I'll miss both.

  I was on Ike from October 2001 to July 2003 as AIMD Officer. Unfortunately, that whole time was during a Refueling Comprehensive Overhaul (RCOH), so we were in Newport News Shipyard the whole time- my third ship in that shipyard. I would love to have been onboard when she went to sea, but it was cold iron the entire time I was there, and in the drydock for most of the time.

  GMG1 Peacock, I was on board prior to commissioning. Reported Aug. 1977 & departed Aug. 1981. In G-2 Div. (Armory) at the beginning, until G-2 was combined with G-3. Ike was a great ship, but it was a long 4 years.

  I've heard rumors of Ike's return date which I won't post here for obvious reasons. If anyone living in Norfolk or Va. Beach could get some pictures of her passing by and post them here it would be appreciated.
