| Nice
shots taken in 87 or
88 by USS
OKINAWA LPH-3. Pat Moloney was shooting
the breeze with her Old Man on the bridge to bridge line and mentioned
that we had photos of HASS alongside most of the PacFleet flattops but
didn't
have one of the OKI-BOAT. The power of suggestion is a wonderful
thing. Within 15 minutes a helo was up and got some nice unrep
shots
and later some solo shots of the HASS. Click on
