The carrier I was stationed on (2 WestPac tours to VietNam - South China Sea). I totally loved being stationed on a carrier.

My great uncle was a PHM3 aboard this ship and would've been present when this photo was taken. He was at Peleliu, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa and saw more blood in one year than he saw the rest of his life working at a hospital. Flying a flag was always a big deal for him after he witnessed the flag raising at Iwo when he was out on break.
