We operated with her for two different Med Cruises. Once in 63 and again in 65. Then it was off to Norfolk for refitting, then Panama, then San Diego, Pearl and the next thing I knew we were in Nam. But our time with the Forrestal in the Med was by far some of the best times ever.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
