Assigned to HC-16 (Helicopter Combat Support Squadron), We provided Airborne Search & Rescue for the USS Lexington utilizing HH-46A Sea Knight Helicopters and were home based at Sherman Field NAS Pensacola. It was my first carrier and ship I deployed on. It was awesome! 22 years later I retired as aSenior Chief Petty Officer.
