Years Served: 1958 – 1959…Following a stint on the USS Yorktown (CV-10), I was assigned to the USS Ticonderoga (CV-14) to serve as editor of the ship’s newspaper during a training exercise in the Far East. I reported to the ship at the Navy Yard in Bremerton, Washington, where the Ticonderoga was under water — literally. Someone had accidentally pulled a plug and flooded two decks. An auspicious beginning to what turned out to be one of the best experiences I had during my four years in the Navy. The Ti was a great ship, with great personnel and some of the best chow anywhere. I wonder if there’s anyone else out there that served during that period?

Years Served: 1971-73…I served aboard the Tico during the Apollo 16 & 17 recoveries, and a trip to Westpac. When I look back on it all, I got to see places that others only dream of. Hawaii, Guam, The Philippines, and Japan. I had a radio show on board playing country music, and went by the name of Country Chuck Fields. :)
