Direct TV Chanel 284.
Sinking of the spy ship Genb Vandenberg off the Florida cost to make an artifual reef. Ididn't werve on the Vandy but I did serve on the Gen H H Arnold.
The Air Force and several other agences (CIA) etc used them to sort of keep an eye on the missle shots of some selected counries when we thought they were going to launch something.
The Vandy went South in the Indian ocean and the Arnold went North around the Commander Islands.
The Arnold went to Japan to make razor blades and the Vandy went to Florida for the reef project.
Interesting work if you could get it! Tom

We had to go into Adak to get him off. That was also very harry to swing a man off our ship onto some sort of thing they sent out. We were both bobbing and weaving but finally got him xferred without killing him.
And then back on station. Ruskies never did shoot anything of interest to us. Tom
PS: Made for a very fun week at Honolulu waiting for flight back to San Antonio, 6948th USAF FS(Mobile).
