Armed Forces Day #2

On January 15, 1973, the ceasefire went into effect that ending the Vietnam conflict. To mark the occasion, the four aircraft carriers operating in the Gulf of Tonkin steamed in a battle formation for an aerial photograph. (A formation with this many carriers hadn’t been done since World War II.) Those of us not on watch went topside to see this remarkable occurrence. (That’s me, leaning on the ship’s rail.)
