One of my trips through the Panama Canal, I was an engineer on a USNS Merchant Marine supply ship, and a carrier was going the other way. I don't know which one it was, but it just fit. I was standing on the flying bridge on my ship (11,000 tons) and looking up at the underside of the angle deck. Pretty impressive. It was in 1970. My thanks to all those who served.
It was probably one of the WWII carriers, they were in heavy use in Vietnam.
