5. Served on USS Aspro SSN-648 out of Pearl during Vietnam era. Yes, I have the ribbons, though what we did was not as hazardous as in-country.
Agreed, Leahys were known as "double enders." Refuelled a few of them in the IO back in the day. Belknaps were "single enders", essentially replacing the second MK 10 for a 5"/54 and ASW helo capability. Always liked refuelling the USS Sterett (CG-31), as they played Jackson Browne's "Running on Empty" during their alongside approach. Those guys knew how to have fun.CG-22 was Leahy class with missile launchers fore and aft. CG-30 was Belknap class with missile launchers foreward and a gun mount aft.
Salty sailor. A bit of time at sea proved to those of us who served that the saying is true. After a few minutes or longer on deck you can feel it on your skin and taste it on your lips. <0Country of Service: USA
