This is in the Cruise book for that WestPac. It’s locked in my brain because we had a Jr. Engineering Officer (Mr.Tonto?) bringing the “Jolly J” into port- he came in to fast and I remember, he put a HUGE crease in the hull- and “Good Okd” RE Wilson went BALLISTIC! Never forget it.
Any fiormer shipmate can Contact me @ stevesawyer2199@gmail.com
I’ll be glad to share anything I can remember about this event and others.
Happy Veterans Day!
