Arrived on board the Hawk on 4/10/1975 as a naive 17 yr. old boy. Became a man on the Westpac 75 cruise. Really sad watching the decomissioning video. So long old girl. Hope they make the museum of her in NC. I served V-2 division, arresting gear branch from '75 / '78.

@MadTarnsman Thank you for your service.

The Kittyhawk. The Shitty Kitty...the USS Zippo! I was on the USS Oriskany, CV-34, back in the day....'73 through '79 and I knew about that boat!

Everyone I knew who served on it called it the "Shitty Kitty".

@takalua911 Captain Todd Zechinn wanted the boat to go through a typhoon a couple of times, he was kind of crazy yes.

Ahhh I remember that day very well, I was walking across the galley and a force took me and slammed me against the wall... of course there was puking here and there but hey, gotta live a little :D

OMG. I like, so totally want to take a dump in the captains hat.

So how long did the poor chopper survive on the frontlines??? lol...

Nice video, sad to hear the kitty-hawk is no longer at sea, My ex father in-law was aboard this ship during the Vietnam war.
I just want to say thanks to the veterans who served on the ship or otherwise. My hat is off to all of you!
