My dad was a pilot during WW11 and later a Navy Test Pilot. He told me the hardest thing about being a pilot was trying to land on an aircraft carrier that looked like a postal stamp bouncing around. Thank you for sharing this information.

From July 1972 to July 1974, I berthed on the USS America, CVA-66, assigned to CR Division (Radio Communications). My aircraft carrier spent many months at "Yankee Station", in International Waters just off of Hanoi, Viet Nam, with occasional visits to Subic Bay, Philippines. America was eventually ported in Athens Greece for about 6-months. I experienced port calls in Hong Kong, Norfolk VA, Barcelona Spain, Caen France, Corfu Greece, and Majorca Spain.
