Thank you for this video as I was attached to VF-142 and on the Enterprise on this cruise thru Rio and around the Horn. It brings back a lot of good memories of my past.
Great video. Got to see the Big E out at sea following RIMPAC '78 and went aboard her in Pearl. I was a blue shirt/crash rescue aboard Aussie carrier HMAS Melbourne 77-79. Any more of this, i'd love a full copy if there is.
Hey I saw my squadron V-27 on board in 1971 I was a sophomore in high school that year , I went aboard in 1976 with V-27 serve 2 west-pac's as a plane captain it sure was an adventure like they say . Have a lot of memories 😹😹
I was on Guam when that happened and remembered the refugees passing through the island. Wasn't the evacuation of Saigon around March or April of 75 or so?
My dad was on this ship until his honorable discharge in 1972 as a boatswains mate for the Captain. It's cool be able to see a glimpse of what he saw. Thank you.
Was with HC-Det 4 as rescue air crew on that around the Horn trip, as well as the following WestPac cruise. Had a couple rescues during that time. Rio was great!
I was on board her as we steamed down and around the tip on our way to Norfolk / Newport News in 70. Became a Shellback on the way when we crossed on the Pacific side. Early out for me early November 70. I was an SK-3 on the commissary side of it. Made two deployments to Tonkin Gulf 68 & 69. Lots of good memories except the day of the fire. Lots of bad memories there. Anchors aweigh my brothers.
I got off of her on her westpac 78 cruise at Subic before crossing the equator . Too chicken to become a shellback then. Now I wish I would of finished the cruise.
Just saw this video and want to thank you. I was in VA-196 and was on the cruise from Norfolk to Alameda and then to WESTPAC. Too bad we had our Valparaiso port call cancelled. But couldn't have spent those years with a better group of guys or on a better ship. BZ
Hello, I remember when she was launched. I never thought that I would hear of her being decommissioned. I met a Sailor that served aboard her in the Chart Room. He mentioned to me that she was the fastest ship in the Navy.
It was, I was TAD for a few months on the Bridge and at that time the Chief Quarter master told me top speed was confidential. I did witness how fast it was tho during an encounter with a Russian trawler off the coast of Korea during the Pueblo fiasco. Amazingly fast.
1977-1978 RM3 Communications department, communications administration division. I still got found memories of her. Good old cvn-65
Too sad your end!!!
Great movie, specially showing my city Rio in the beggining of the 70.
Great footage, thanks. I was in VA-97 on that cruise and remember it well.

I remember seeing her in Bremerton years ago when she was in for an overhaul. I was always fascinating by that radar turret on top of her island.
I was on the Big E when she still had the “dome”. ‘74 ‘75. We did the evacuation of Saigon.

Forgot to mention rounding the Cape when we took water for about 30 hours through the forecastle.
I read the new carrier is being built from steel off the old ship....

They could only do as much as the US Government let them. They didn't want to start a international conflict.
The F4 is still a bad ass looking plane!!!!
