In-port at
Yerba Buena Island

California

About 1965
A fireman and I created and painted
the ships logo, we just started Escorting Explosive carriers to
the
Golden Gate

That was rime if not reason for the “Hot Shots”.

This is the ships cook (CS2) in the galley
I think this was the XO a Chief Machinist
Mate? Lots of coffee
Time for a little black paint on the freeboard.
Shades of Tom Sawyer Huck Finn
Worse for the wear, but this a shot of a old
Navy C3 brought out of mothballs to shuttle
ordinance to VNN. We escorted them from
Port Chicago to the Pacific. We had a couple
of run-ins with protestors that didn’t
amount to much
