Eastern Med. Turn circles Life in the steel city Never sleeps Flight deck Pointing hands Aircraft finding spots Strange ballet Catapult Engine screams Thrown into the air Suddenly Approach Roger ball On the glide path now comming home Third wire Tail hook down Engage the third wire Quickly stop To all who served on her.You are not forgotten FID. paladin [This message has been edited by paladin (edited 08-25-2001).] |

Those vessels are a whole other world. Very nicely done. My dad spent years on the Nimitz. It seems some people do forget the heroes of the ocean. Wonderful tribute! Sincerely, Regina |

I know this ship...and many more...its not just the crew of the Forrestal that deserves our honour...but all the men and women who put their lives on the line day in and day out so we can walk free... |
