Comments: WELL SHIPMATES IT'S ANOTHER YEAR GONE BY AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T STARTED BUILDING ANOTHER AIRCRAFT CARRIER NAMED USS CORAL SEA CVN-80 OR 90 SOMETHING TO RETURN BACK TO THE GREATEST NAVAL AIR STATION ON THE WEST COAST NAS ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA. NOW IF ANYONE ELSE THINK THAT THIS WILL BE THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD TO DO THAN YOU REALIZE THAT BEING ON THE GREATEST AIRCRAFT CARRIER AFLOAT AFTER MAKING THE LONGEST WESTPAC CRUISE SINCE THE KOREAN WAR OF 331 DAYS DURING THE VIETNAM WAR FROM DECEMBER 7, 1964 TO NOVEMBER 1, 1965 PLUS THE FACT THAT WE LEFT ON PEARL HARBOR DAY THAT YEAR BUT BEING AS IRONIC AS HAVING TO START THE WAR WITH VIETNAM EXACTLY TWO MONTHS LATER ON FEBRUARY 7, 1965 WHICH WAS ALSO ANOTHER SUNDAY JUST LIKE PEARL HARBOR BUT NOT AT THE SAME EXACT TIME SO BEING AS GREAT AS SHE WAS LIKE SO MANY OTHER AIRCRAFT CARRIERS WHY NOT BUILD ANOTHER USS CORAL SEA BEFORE I DIE JUST SO I CAN COME ABOARD ONE LAST TIME ON THE GREATEST AIRCRAFT CARRIER AFLOAT, PERIOD!!!!!

Comments: Last set of colors flown on the USS CORAL SEA. On 1-28-2014 I went into a minit-mart with my son. I said I was going to see if they had any hot wings ready. He said dad its only 10.30 in the morning. I said SO. I went to the back and ask if any hot wings were ready, she said no, so I turned and walked away. This other lady came out and said SIR, were you on the CORAL SEA. I had my CORAL SEA hat on. I said yes 1967 to 1971. She said she had the last set of colors flown on the USS CORAL SEA. She was on the decommissioning crew and lowered the flag herself. I said is there anyway you would sell it to me. She came back with a big NO! My heart sank, but then she said but I will transfer the colors. I wanted to give it to someone who was actually on the CORAL SEA. I teared up. That flag is on my mantle encased in a glass case. I am very proud to have it. ROGER ROSS

I finally startet back in January and it is great to have all the reference an pictures back. I thad been a shock to see it offline.
