I served on the Shangri-La -last cruise 1970-Nam-I was in M division Evaps Foward and Aft-I would really love to hear from some old ship mates that made that cruise-I was on watch in the Aft Evaps when we lost the screw--I never seen the #3 shaft spin so fast as I did that day--and talk about all the Brass coming down the stairs--I couldn't salute fast enough--lol--

My dad helped build the Shang and was on the maiden voyage. He was on the ship till he got out of the Navy, his name was Edwin Lafayette Keen and he worked down in the engine room. Great video would love to go to this museum one day!
