Thank You for sharing that!
The USS Enterprise was too huge to dock in Boston’s Inner harbor, but 50 years ago she was anchored off shore out among the Harbor islands. My Dad, a Navy Vet of WW2 and Korea, put all of us kids in a boat and went out to “See The Enterprise”. We navigated up as close as was safe and were AWED by that magnificent ship. I will never forget the sight.
Dad passed away a year ago, and I wonderful memories of his love for the Navy and for America.
What a wonderful experience that must have been! Good for your Dad! :)
I can well imagine how impressive the Big E was to you and your family.
Back in ‘66 USS ENTERPRISE arrived in Subic Bay, PI. We had a diving job work order on the Big E. Our job was on one of the 4 rudder posts. Those Rudders and Propellors were HUGE! Was a GREAT experience for my and my fellow divers.
