I was stationed on a carrier during Nam. On the way over we stopped in Hawaii for on load planes, weapons, etc. If you were on the flight deck, or hanger deck for any reason, announcement was made on the MC-1 “Attention on deck” and you stood at attention and saluted as you passed by the Arizona and monument. Eerily quiet, not a sound on the ship, kinda spooky. Made that trip 3 times on the way to Nam. My Dad was on the USS Wisconsin during WWII in the Pacific. Underwater welder…
