[xycadium]

Why is there no video of the actual sinking? I'm surprised there isn't. Perhaps the sinking footage is classified for some reason?

I was on the ship a few different times and for three months total (westpac) in '93.

[sliver01]

I was on the Bellaeu Wood in '99 a part of the 31st MEU, part of SOCEX, I remembered I was part of Ship's Platoon. I was among the first to arrive on the ship at Sasabo, Japan. We set sail for Okinawa to pick up the rest of the Battalion, and while doing so in the middle of a typhoon. Boy, those were the days lol.

[MagillJohnM]

I was also on the Belleau-wood I reported to her in Jan 1990, went to the yards in Long Beach, then went to Sasebo for about a year and a half. I cant belive they sank her, she was in far better condition to the Tarawa. I was in OPS OI DIV

[ladypleaser53]

[sgtpats]

I served on board her and loved her from 1980 thru 1984. She was a beautiful ship. Qm3 Schifano

[CMA212]

My Dad served on her (LHA-3) from 1997 to 2000 In Sasebo, Japan where we were stationed. During 2000, they did a command swap with the newer ship USS Essex LHD-2 . I miss that ship, I went on my first tiger cruise on her from Okinawa to Sasebo Japan. They Navy sank her in July of 2006 as a part of Operation RIMPAC.

[alexandermakrianis]

I wonder why the Navy sank that ship. All of its sister ships remained in service for some time afterwards, even though they are just now beginning to be decommissioned.
