CV and mad panic behaviour

[Baggers]

Remember the a/c carrier Baggers?

Sure do, USS Kitty Hawk. I also remember the refuelling ship USS Ponchatoula (had to look up Wiki to check the spelling!!!). A few of us hung out with blokes from the coast guard vessell USCGC Midgett.

Sheesh, your question sure did take me down memory lane, so much so I called a mate who served on the Brisbane with me (also a Sparker - communications) and he reminded me that when we were there an historic event took place in that the first Japanese military vessel berthed in Pearl Harbour since WW2... it was a submarine but neither of us could remember the name, only how much of an 'event' it was... not all the locals were happy!!!!
