** The Official Hurricane Matthew Thread **

#27

Quote:My Hurricane Floyd memory is of riding the USS John F. Kennedy through waves so large that our bow was coming out of the water and waves washed over the flight deck. I had no idea an aircraft carrier could move so much. We had hoped to avoid the storm but had to steam into it to rescue 7 sailors in the water because their ocean tug sank. They launched a helicopter in that stuff. Major cojones.  

 

Now I'm just scared and want someone to hold me (*smack* not you, her). There, all better now. Just a little more to the right...
 

I need to scan in a photo of the USS America in 1995 when we were making our way across the pond.  We had hurricanes Humberto, Iris, Karen and Luis out there.  The only time I've seen that many sailors puke on a carrier was when we went through the Shell Back ceremony.



There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
