Aboard the USS Hancock off South Korea, December 3, 1968:
South Korean Prime Minister Chung Il Kwon is flanked by his hosts, Rear Adm. George S. Morrison, left, commander of Carrier Division Nine, and Vice Adm. William F. Bringle, commander of the U.S. 7th Fleet in the Pacific, as he watches jets from Air Wing 21 take off and land on the deck of the carrier USS Hancock. Morrison, father of singer Jim Morrison of The Doors, later served as commander of U.S. Naval Forces, Marianas, before retiring in August, 1975. In January of that year, an Australian humanitarian group dealing with Vietnamese refugees on Guam praised "the high degree of compassion and respect accorded to every single refugee, the fine example set by (Rear) Adm. G.S. Morrison being followed by each American serviceman and servicewoman."

I had no idea his father was an officer in the Navy. Very interesting.

“even though he once joked his parents were dead and used Oedipal rant "The End" to imagine killing his dad and sleeping with his mother.”

Sounds like pop has no hard feelings... even though he just may have dodged a bullet given his spawns early demise.

Not a big fan of "The End", but big fan of "Light my Fire", "Riders on the Storm" and the lighter side of The Doors.
