USS DALE (CG 19) Final Deployment, Departure Mayport

Описание: This video was shot by my wife (that’s why so shaky, also cold and raining that day) when USS DALE CG 19 departed MAYPORT. You can hear my young daughter yelling daddy along with other children, Quick good byes, still work to do, set Sea and Anchor, crew fall-in, focus- lines are danger, more quick good byes, tugs made up, shift colors, underway. This was a great ship with a tight crew. This was about 30 years ago today when I was an FC1. Now I am old crusty retired Chief (I would do it again if the good lord would let me). I sure wish all my old shipmates the best.
