Zg284. (-04). 1962 Nov. Caribbean, Cuba Crisis. I remember the skipper of the oiler, using his bull horn, said quote: “After some searching, they found a fitting, they had not used since the Civil War, to connect” unquote.
Zg290. (-10). Amphibious-Training was often long hours and we had to stay on station for anything that came up, we slept when we could. A little rest after launching floating crafts out of Well-Deck and, unloading Flight-Deck by crane etc.
