I wish I could do it all over again with what I know now. I served on the USS America, USS Kennedy, USS Detroit AOE4, and the USS Orion in Italy. It was a lot of hard work and sacrifices in three U.S. Wars but it was worth it. The one thing I noticed is that whenever the media came to our ships for documentaries, it was always the high ranking officers who got the interviews and never the enlisted men and women who are the actual real backbone of the Navy. We did all the dirty and risky work and not enough recognition for it because it was always the officers on the spotlight. Thank you enlisted heroes.

Most importantly, Pray for those that you love, those your work with and for our great Country and our leaders.

Officers get to have cooks and great meals day in and day out, Enlisted get frozen pre-cooked food that gets warmed up for a couple of minutes then served (sometimes still frozen) if they're not working on the flight deck. Deck Apes get delicious and rock solid hoagies most of the time. I'm sure as a chef you wouldn't approve, but I'm sure officers loved being able to pick their meals from a menu. Luckily, I made friends through cranking in S-2, S-3 & S-5 that always took care of me as I took care of them.

Lieutenant Robert Lowry was the first to suggest the use of large-scale underway replenishment techniques in an 1883 paper to the Royal United Services Institute. He argued that a successful system would provide a minimum rate of 20 tons per hour while the ships maintain a speed of five knots. He was a Royal Navy Officer the Royal Navy had coaling stations around the Empire which would replenish ships at the turn of the 19th / 20th century .

My first Duty Station was the USS MIDWAY (CV-41) now a museum in San Diego. Also was with VFA-192 embarked on the Midway and then the Independence (now scrapped I believe).

We would rotate with other destroyers being on the gunline off the coast of South Vietnam and as carrier escorts in the Gulf of Tonkin. One of my fondest memories of my time in Vietnam was watching planes take off from the carriers and then land on the carriers after their mission was complete.

During WWII my father served aboard a cruiser in an attack carrier group. He too loved watching the planes takeoff and land. They were close enough to hear the plane engines rev up prior to launching. Of course, occasionally one plane would splash and the crew would be picked up by a lifeguard destroyer. Actually, my father's boat also served in Vietnam. CAG-1

Was in the Canadian Air Force. We had runways and facilities built as forward operating bases for USAF SAC B-52s. Nice long walk.
