I was on the Sara from '77-'81. Until she went to Philly for drydock. I was in A Division/Hydraulics. Worked in #4 Elevator. Made three Med Cruises on her. Brings back a lot of memories!!! (eat my Wellhouse!!!)
My friend's dad together with another 4 men had died in DM-357 destroyer... Under-trained Saratoga crew has hit her with Sea-Sparrow missile on 10/2/92.
I remember very well those years of the '84 cruise and showing the flag and working on the flight deck. Brings back a lot of memories, now retired from the Navy.
N to cliche'd music.

I was an airman (plane capt), for VA-83 Rampagers during this cruise.
I just read an article about Kadafi getting some oil drills (via BP) for Libya.
Found this while researching.
