If you have any you would like posted,

It would be nice to know names,
dates, etc.
Betelgeuse when she replenished Forrestal in 56. I may be mistaken,
but I think we did the job right after a port visit to Naples. I was on
the helm when the picture was taken, but shortly after it was shot, the skipper
of the Forrestal called Capt Thatcher and asked him to get a better helmsman.
So they relieved me.
I was scared to death. Every time I looked out the portside pilothouse
door, all I saw was gray!
