In July 1962, I was an AG-2 stationed aboard the USS
Randolph (CVS-15). We were homeport out of Norfolk and operated
as Task Group Alpha. In the Summer of 1962, Task Group Alpha went on a
Med Cruise to give the USNA Middies a little at-sea time. While in the
Med, we joined up with the USS
Shangri La (CV-38) and USS
Independence (CV-62). With the three Carrier Task Forces combined,
we had the largest gathering of US Naval Warships in the Med since the
latter days of WWII. |
