USS Coral Sea Brian Abbott.

What a stinkin' bucket of crap. Wax poetic all you want guys, the coral maru, was in her declining years. Asbestos, crappy chow, ignorant petty officers, water hours, the iranian helecopter rescue episode. If you were a swingin dick aboard this rust bucket I pity us. All good things must come to an end.... but service aboard the dear old CV-43 lives vividly in my memory. Anyone want to go to chow down at the Doggie Diner? The smells, the service, the taste mmm mmm good!
