Personal Experiences
USS Intrepid
Edward Allen Mifflin Service Dates=3/5/55-12/14/74 Early part of '56, prior to sailing for the Med., on a shake down cruise off of the U.S. coast, the Intrepid ran into a hurricane. The 'cane lasted for three days and literally destroyed everything above the water line. Flight deck was peeled back, catwalks & liferafts were gone, and thirty seven compartments were flooded. We remained at modified battle stations and only received soup and sand wiches for nourishment. |
