Heavy weather is fun for a while. When the ship rolls 45 degrees, you can walk on the bulkheads.

@tbi109, I took a little video during the height of the storm, but it was unusable. There was so much water and spray you couldn't see out of the window. Were you on board when we jump-started the Simms that December night when she lost power in the storm and went dead in the water?

@tbi109, Indy lost two men overboard and they were recovered the next day. Air wing called over to see if we could launch to assist. No could do. We had every chain we owned holding the helicopter on deck and whenever the ship rolled, the up-slope wheel came off the deck. There is a book "Ghostrider One" written by an H-3 pilot on the Indy in the same storm. They actually wound up launching two helos. According to him, the seas were 60 feet with 130 knot winds.

@tbi109 I heard they found them the next day with their dungarees inflated and tied together with their belts.

@tbi109 As I remember it beat up both ships pretty bad. Didn't you go to drydock when we got back? That was when we went to Arthur W Radford. Did you get my personal message?

we spent a month in Greece gettin the ship repaired. Lost the thick steel metal doors in the back and cracked stack along with a lot of other damage.

@tbi109 I had forgotten about losing the doors. We didn't fly again until inchop so I never saw the hole they left. Seems like I remember the sonar dome having cracks as well.
