I had three cruises right underneath the wires.

Similar to what I posted before seeing your comment.
I also served on “Rosie” but finished active duty in 1962.
OMG...I spent a week on the Rosie back in the mid-seventies on exercises down in the Carribean, and it was pretty bad. She was very advanced in years at that point.
LOL...I always wondered why someone thought they could put sleeping quarters below the flight deck right there, but...they were wiser than I. They knew that people would simply get used to it...and we did, didn’t we?
And, thanks for serving!
