Served on two different tin cans 62 to 66. Maybe we should start a sea stories discussion 😁

I'd like that!

I served aboard USS Nimitz for a little over four years (Feb., '78 - Apr., '82) as an Electrician's Mate. Did 3 Med cruises, a North Sea cruise and sat off the coast of Iran for well over 100 days during the '79-'81 Iranian Hostage Crisis.

We had destroyers, destroyer escorts and guided middle cruisers in our battlegroups on all of my sea excursions, but I never did set foot on any if them.

@johnbishop
I think that a sea stories discussion would be interesting!
