  1. When I was on board two United States destroyer DD-784, and DD-718 running up and down the cost of Vietnam. We would do what was called Carrier watch. The destroyer would follow behind the carriers as it would retrieve her aircraft.
    It was cool too see these F-4’s Fantom fly over the destroyer as they were on final.
