The very first time I saw this ship was in 1980-when I had to go to my first ship-carrier while aboard VAQ-131 on the USS INDEPENDENCE. I hated Norfolk Va. This ship was the newest nuc---and the most talked about because of her involvement with being the flagship backing a couple of tragic operations that should never had been executed.

I was assigned to the Nimitz on the original pre-commissioning unit in 1972 and transferred on the day of commissioning. I would like to obtain a list of the crew on the day of commissioning. Also, if anyone out there was on the pre-commissioning unit please reply.

It's been 30 yrs since that unforgettable night. Most of us were in our racks for liberty in Lauderdale. We didn't expect 2 days in Norfolk. At about 12:05 am they announced "Battle Stations". We lost 14 and more then 80 wounded. I was in aft BDS and all the class V and wounded were located midship and foward.. Up all night hit the rack at 2pm I worked with CDR Dan Golden who was oral Surg aboard chief Dental officer who identified dead.
