INDIAN OCEAN (March 31, 2021) The Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Bunker Hill (CG 52), bottom, transits behind the Royal Australian Navy replenishment ship HMAS Sirius (O 266), center, and the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) during a replenishment-at-sea. The Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group is on a scheduled deployment to the
U.S. 7th Fleet
area of operations. As the U.S. Navy’s largest forward-deployed fleet, 7th Fleet routinely operates and interacts with 35 maritime nations while conducting missions to preserve and protect a free and open Indo-Pacific Region.

Suez Canal, USS America, 1981. This was on the southern transit; little security, lots of curious civilians on the Egypt side (on the Sinai side there was just sand and burnt-out trucks and tanks from previous conflicts). While we were in the IO, Sadat was assassinated. So, on the northern transit several months later, security was tight. Not a civilian in sight. Just Egyptian soldiers and gun mounts on rooftops.we couldn't launch any aircraft during the 10-hour transit except choppers. Quite a tense time.

USS Hornet departs San Francisco Bay, 0900-100hrs, 02April,1942...The departure from San Francisco is vividly and accurately depicted in William. S. Phillip's "Approaching the Gate to Destiny". Mr. Phillips may have taken some artistic license with the weather conditions, but as a native San Franciscan who has spent many hours on The Bay, I can freely say that he has completely captured that Spring morning between 0900-1000 hrs. The lighting angles are correct, the complex colors of the bay at mid-morning are very true, the fog and haze off the GG Bridge are historically depicted, and everything about the Hornet and the assembled Raiders on deck are extensively researched. I can almost smell the morning roast from the Hills Bros. Coffee plant that she just passed to port!

You were aboard America in 1981? So was I. I made the whole deployment. I was with VS-33 of CVW-11. What about you?
