Hello Debra, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
This isn't from the 1950s since it shows the USS Long Beach, CGN-9, in a scene and that ship was commissioned into the fleet in the 1961. So this is from the 1960s.
For sure.
Looks like they've maybe changed the description now, as it says 60's.
Saw some 1964 cars in it....
One of the calendars around 15:30 had 1963 on it.
Post Forrest Sherman Class DDs, and Pre Knox Class. 63 to 65 time frame.
This video is from the mid-1960s. At 26:41 , the record shown is Louis Armstrong's hit recording of "Hello Dolly". That record was released in 1964. So this film would date from then or later.
These are the true American heroes. May they never be forgotten. I hope one day their ancestors will stand up strong like they did
When deployed to the Med in '69, my ship was steaming in formation with the Columbus for a short time; time enough to get some good pictures of her. I was on a DDG at the time.
A gathering of angels appeared above my head....and this is what they said...COME SAIL AWAY! COME SAIL AWAY WITH ME!....lol sorry couldn't help it
Distracted boyfriend meme @14:20 😂
And she didn’t make a scene either. Guess a lot has changed 😂
right!! lol so good
I served on USS Leahy CG-16 during the 1980s. Memories. "Guided missile ships that go where the action is." For sure, sailed off Russia, North Korea, China, pirates, and the Persian Gulf!
8:13 The fallout shelter sign on the building shows this film was made after 1961.
What's the difference with some sailors having 3 red chevron stripes on uniforms while others had "slash" stripes...is it the type of work they do?
slash strips are for E-1 to E-3's, E-4 to E9 have chevrons
IN WOKE USN a Ship named Columbus, named after Columbus, OH, would not be possible. Wondering when Columbus OH will go WOKE and Change it's name??? When will usa patriots put end to WOKE?
