The Good Ship Kitty Hawk arrived at Pier 7, Naval Station Norfolk VA.
We had completed a six month around the world cruise with Carrier Air Wing Nine embarked. I was a member of that Air Wing, in Attack Squadron 147, The Argonauts.
It turned out to be my last deployment to the other side of the world.
Dang, how time flies.
Twenty Five Years ago...............................I was 32 and my kids were still in grade school.
The picture is of the Battle Group somewhere in The Indian Ocean/Northern Arabian Sea area of operations. All the vessels in this picture are in yards, ship maintenance facilities and the like. The Navy is a lot different now days.
Geez... that makes me stop and think about 1961, when the Kitty Hawk made way into Hunters Point after rounding the Horn. She was brand new then ...and I was an E-2
