Reported on board June 30 1969 as PNSN transferred in September 1971 as a PN3 to Pensacola NAS. During this time we conducted 2 middle east cruises, spent time in Cuba, trained NA cadets, repair work at Jacksonville shipyard. Great ship with even a greater crew. Fair winds and following seas to all.
