Yeah I in 1983 ended up in Grenada as well(Operation Urgent Fury) in USS Independence CV-62.
One of my buddies in the AF had his personal belongings shipped by sea from Virginia to Panama City Florida instead of the Panama Canal Zone.
Got to his PSC assignment and none of his stuff got there.
He went to the shipping office and asked them why in Gods name anyone would ship their belongings by sea from Virginia to Florida?
Thanks for your service. I was in high school in Puerto Rico and a family member worked at Roosevelt Roads Naval Base... been to Vieques many times...
