We were out in the Atlantic somwhere west of Europe, we had left Rota Spain and were underway for the USA we had been the 6th Fleet Flag Ship in the Med for about 4 months. We were going back to the USA to become the Flag Ship of Second Fleet, which is the North Atlantic, the Eastern Seaboard of the USA and the Carribean.

Thank you for sharing this and for your service! My dad served and my granddaddy helped build the ship. I was born in 1964 at Fort Monroe Army Hospital and I'm very proud of our heritage. God bless you all!

@Waynehardt You're Welcome, Wayne. And Thank You for Your Families Service to Our Country. If you have any photos of your Grandfather working on our ship, would love to see them.

Awesome footage! Where did you get the film? Was it in a closet at your house? Well, where ever you found it, its great! LOL!

Thanks, and Good Question. My older brother had been in the Army and regretted not taking more Pix. When I joined the Navy, he bought me an 8mm movie camera and asked me to shoot him at least one film in each port. I did this and he returned the films to me when I retired from the USN. Now you ALL know the rest of the story. Dex I

Hell the noise scared me worse than the film.....Which was scary enough. Kudos, dexter on a fine offering here......Your narrative beginning and end actually added a LOT to the clip....Most of these 'storms' videos I see they just break right into the storm and quit---you don't meet the poster. Again, Kudos. Steve

Thanks for the kind words, Steve. I told Shipmate Jim Sollee that if he helped me with this video, I would make him a star. [:>) Dex
