Unless you were a part of
the "MAGIC", you'll never understand. Thank you for the memories. I was
there from 89-91. I will do my best to send some memorabilia. I was part
of THE VFA-151 "VIGILANTES". |

Vic Pinzon and
myself were operating the ship's closed circuit television station during
Operation Frequent Wind in April 1975. Keeping the crew's morale high at
that time was more important than ever as long hours and endless days at
sea were the norm. I'm very pleased to see my ship come to San Diego this
fall for good as a waterfront museum! |

Served aboard
1962-1965; OI Div.; RD3: I know about the loss of elevator #3 during the
63/64 cruise; It wasn't necessarily the fault of heavy seas as much as the
fault of the Captain that ordered too much rudder during break-away from
the unrep, for the existing sea conditions and the ship's speed. Add to
that the fact that we were still moving materials off the elevator - so it
was in the lowered position. The turn to Port resulted in the ship listing
into two large waves - the first one shook the elevator loose and the
second knocked it off the ship. No one was on the elevator when it was
lost. We continued operations for the balance of the cruise without the
elevator and continued to be the best in the fleet when competing against
the sister carrier, USS Ranger (I believe), during launch and recovery
operations. |

Midway for a USNR Cruise from Norfolk, VA to Halifax, NS 7-49 at age 17.
Planned to be on board again this fall, 53 years later, part of our 50th
wedding anniversary (3-29-02). Want a USS Midway cap; hope to be there in
2003! Keep up your Good Works! Thanks. Tom Stephens |
