Were you on the Forrestal when they had that mishap? I never could ride on a ship that rock and rolled like that. When we refueled from a carrier, I think some of the carriers crew got sick just watching us. We had a saying on Destroyers in a storm....”Over one and under two.” Waves that is.
RC2, I was on her long after the mishap...I was there early 80’s. I rode her back in to Mayport on her last med cruise in ‘82 before she headed to Philly for an overhaul.
I remember well when I was I stationed on the Frigate the first few times we headed out to sea, I got sea sick...took a while for me to get my sea legs. They used to put a big bowl of crackers out on the mess decks, but they didn’t help much, lol.
