I was on the same cruise in 76. I remember we lost that tomcat because I was up on the flight deck and watch the whole thing and then we had a collision with The destroyer. That was a rough day. Then we went to Edinburgh, Wilhelms, Haven, Germany, Portsmouth, England, then breast France then we went home. It was like a three month cruise. I believe it was a NATO cruise.
