0 I just went through my "72" cruise book on dvd. Brought back a lot of memories. Saw some buds I haven't seen since then. Wish I had stayed in touch. When I was discharged in April 1973 I was divorced by August and I was drinking pretty hard by then and things just got away from me. Hindsight. ..............
If I had known grandkids were this much fun, I would have had them first.

CVA-42 long since mothballed and scrapped. Have you tried here???? http://www.navysite.de/cvn/cvn71.html You migh be able to come up with one. Mine cost like ten bucks through a site like this. You can get one from the archives but I forgot how much a page but mine would have benn a few hundred bucks.

 0 DDG-17 U.S.S. Conyngham ...........Radioman, plankowner. What wikpedia does not tell you is that after being fitted with ASROCK capabilities in Bath Me. She was reccommisioned as a nuclear destroyer. Thus the plankowner status in 1982. She also hit a sandbar that knocked out the sonar domes and was in drydock in Marseilles France for a month. The captain was relieved of his duties. I think the XO took over and his name was I think Oldham.

We were all issued special cold weather gear and instructed to NOT touch any metal with bare skin less you become part of what you were touching. If that happened to be part of the plane on a cat for launch, shame on you. It was a trip to see the air boss. I'd just as soon been thrown off the flight deck.
