Edward McDonnell 6293kb 1972 movie, one minute. Shows Voge moving up from lifeguard station to refuel from Nantahala (AO-60), after McDonnell's breakaway. My ship, the USS Intrepid was on port side of Nantahala, so my vantage point was excellent. We had pretty heavy seas that day, she took some hefty white water over the bow ....exciting footage.
