Capt. David Polatty. CO CV-62. He was my CO. Of USS Milwaukee. You’d be hard pressed to find a better Captain. I was really a shame his career ended the way it did. He got 2 stars though.
Very cool. We had Australian sailors come over for cross training with us every now and then. I didn't work with any of them, but they all seemed like good dudes and obviously had their own perspective on things.
Tom Cat, baby! One of the most sexiest planes EVER
I was onboard when this was filmed. MA3 USN
I was on her from 92 to 94 in Yokosuka Japan. I did attend the decommissioning of her in Bremerton WA. Good times!
I was there also G2 Division
Ha, VF-154, triple sticks! I very rarely ever seen that bird fly! V-2 VLA AG 93-95

I was there. AMS3 in VF-154. Can’t believe that was over 20 years ago.
Is that you Bill. AM1.
Unbelievable isn’t it 😅?
I just left the Indy in 97, V-4 flight deck
This was when the navy gave everyone the Anthrax shots.
That’s right. It all started with that Gulf deployment.
Great film.
Kind of you. I wish the technology and my skills were a little better at the time.
I was a Blue Shirt in the Aussie Navy 76-82. I love the raw footage filmed by a real sailor rather than pro filmed stuff.
