Long Beach beat us backing down by EIGHT > miles...LOL The fastest I've ever seen & felt our ship go was after we left Spain on a full recall after the marine barracks was bombed in Lebanon in 83, Enterprise had their fair share as well. We were fully loaded on a Med deployment, I've never felt the ship vibrate as much as it did. This was hilarious when we faced this situation.......(LMAO) http://navysite.de/cruisebooks/cvn69-83/027.htm http://navysite.de/cruisebooks/cvn69-83/028.htm I did 3yrs 9 months on the Ike......V-2 division, catapults, best fun & proudest moments I ever had in my life........;0) |
