Had a chance to meet him and talk one on one a number of years after he had left office.

I split-second figured when introduced to him, many people probably asked him about Watergate, probably way too many, so I just talked about the USS Mayaguez Incident with him.

I got five minutes of his precious time, and his rembrance of that 1975 crisis, and I will always remember that.

IIRC, he was presented with the ship's wheel by the crew and he kept it in the Oval Office and was very proud of it.

Thanks for reminding me of some history I had forgotten about. With limited news back then, items in history have can be forgotten easily.
