  • this was recorded in Suez Canal we were heading north after the hostages were released from Iran and just before the Embassy in Lebanon was bombed this was during 1980 President Reagan's first year in office. Capt C.S.Smith commanding.

    when asked, "What do we do if we're attacked while transiting the Suez Canal?".

    the captain replied, "WE KICK ASS and PRESS ON." which became our battle cry, or just "KAPO"

  • Is this in the Suez Canal?

  • I was on America from 94-96. Went thru the Suez Canal two times. Great times.

  • Aircraft and crewmen on the forward flight deck of USS America (CV-66) as the ship heads south through the Suez Canal, 6 May 1981. America was the first US carrier to transit the Canal since Intrepid (CVS-11) did so in June 1967, just prior to the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War. posted by one who was there Cpl William Davila

  • i was aboard uss america when this happen thru the suez canal on 06 may 1981only time america made that transit thru there

  • AO2 Tony Catman...G-4 Div Weapons Dept in the early 80's. Good times. they wanted to dock it in solomons Md as a museum which would have been great, but as we all know, it didnt end up that way
