Haha!
I spent 4 years on FF 1074 (a sister ship) and some of the liberty
attire I saw came pretty close to those guys! But it was 79-82......
disco was big back then.


I was on FF 1097.

USS Moinester?
They were good ships. We enjoyed the WESTPAC liberty ports!


That's the one. I was also on the USS America. The Knox class was the
first class designed to withstand the blast of nuclear depth charges.
Here's an interesting incident:

Pictures too! The VDS brought the commies to their knees.

Thanks, I'll check it out today.
