My Time As A Marine On The U.S.S. Saipan 1984

I was stationed at the Marine Corps Air Station New River when I got the orders to serve on the U.S.S. Saipan for a NATO exercise to Norway. I was a 2111 small arms repair/technician in support of our helicopter squadron out of North Carolina. What an exciting trip that was. Semper Fi!

I served on the Saipan in 1984 for Teamwork 84 as a US Marine. We made stops in London and Belgium from what I recall.

Great photographs and music, well done. Do you have any that show the location of the steam horn or of the horn itself? I have the actual steam horn from the Saipan from when it was removed around 2000 and replaced with an electric air horn. I would love to see a photo of it mounted to the ship. Thanks, Jeff in Ohio.
