The ship I was on USS McKean DDR-784 did plane operations with her back in the 60s. Just happy we didn't have to pick up a downed pilot. They are magnificent sliding through the water when they turn into the wind to launch aircraft. Fun for the guys on the destroyers escorting them, work for the guys on the carrier.

@johnbishop I was so impressed by the whole thing. It was a self-guided tour, actually broken up into six or seven tours. When I see something like that it really brings it home, the sacrifices the men on those ships made (women now too of course). I tend to be a very vicarious person which at times is good, and at other times is not good. The plantation really made me sad. On the upside when people tell me about a great restaurant meal, or a some traveling, I can enjoy it too! I should have been a travel agent!
