I served with the US Navy from 08.25.1971 until 08.31.1991...

My first ship..


USS John F Kennedy (CVA 67) Photo taken in 1972. I was aboard. I served aboard JFK from March 24 1972 until August 1st 1973. Funny how a person remembers those dates.

My second ship..

USS Midway(CVA 41) Photo taken circa 1972. I served aboard Midway from August 17th 1973 until August 1st 1974.

My third ship..


USS Hancock(CVA 19) photo taken in 1975. I served aboard Fightin' Hanna from August 15 1974 to August the 8th 1975.

 

[bdpopeye]

I also served aboard USS America(CV 66) in 1981 as part of CVW-11 . I was assigned to VS-33 an S-3A squadron out of NAS North Island in San Diego...mostly we just dropped sonobouys..

VS-33 Screwbirds S-3A Viking firing Zuni rockets near Fallon NV..late 1980.



I'm not 100% sure but I think the top photo is from the first transit and the bottom is from the second transit.
USS America (CV 66) transiting the Suez canal in 1981. We were the first carrier to transit the Suez sine 1966 when Intrepid made the journey.

from wiki;
Originally scheduled to have commenced her transit of the Suez Canal on 5 May, the tense situation in Lebanon prompted a 24-hour "hold" on the evolution. Given the go-ahead soon after, America made the 104.5 mi (168.2 km) transit on 6 May, in ten hours – the first United States Navy carrier to steam through the Suez Canal since Intrepid had made the passage shortly before the Arab-Israeli "Six-Day War" of 1967. It was also the first "super-carrier" to transit the canal since it had been modified to permit passage of supertankers.

And;
On 21 October 1981, America commenced the northbound transit of the Suez Canal. This transit, unlike the comparatively light-hearted one of 6 May, proved more tense. As a result of the unsettled conditions in Egypt following the 6 October 1981 assassination of President Anwar Sadat, the Egyptian government accorded America's passage through the Suez Canal the utmost security considerations. The Egyptian Navy provided a patrol vessel to escort the carrier, while an Egyptian Air Force helicopter conducted reconnaissance flight over both banks of the waterway. Egyptian Army units patrolled the adjacent canal roads. Additionally, liaison officers on board the carrier maintained constant touch with the security forces by radio.

Making the passage of the canal without incident, America continued on across the Mediterranean, reaching Palma on 25 October. After a three-day port call, the carrier conducted exercises with Spanish forces, and subsequently sailed for home on 1 November, departing the Mediterranean the following day. She arrived at Norfolk on 12 November.
