evenings are always spectacular on the Atlantic. Here
we see a destroyer in the distance, accompanying us as
part of a 12-ship flotilla back to the US from the 1962/63
Med Cruise. The Tidewater was just one year out of Portsmouth
Shipyard refurbishing, having acquired her new Distant
Airborne Sonar Helicopter (DASH) hanger on the Fantail.
This view is from near the bow of the Tidewater looking
west.
