Which ship? What time frame? And I guess I should say "Happy belated Veterans' Day and thank you for your service"

Yeah, bad weather and no rooms at the inn.

Aircraft carrier collied with a cruiser, want say which one but in the 70's, heard later there were no fires or fatalies on the carrier, all have to say about news reports is BS, and thanks was my pleasuer to serve

Wouldn't be the John F. Kennedy and the Belknap would it? And if you had GQ for 2-3 days, may I guess you WEREN'T on the Kennedy?

You gotta wonder "just HOW big does a ship have to be for it to be seen by another REALLY BIG SHIP??"

was on the kennedy, I know what the news said my mom had clippings, happened right before watch change, fire was on the port sponson where the tires were kept, the fatality on the kennedy was a heart attack. as big as a carrier is it does happen, weird thing about that one 22 november was same day JFK was shot in 62, they kept kennedy at GQ because the fires kept reflashing,
