Tidewater 1962-1965

| Here is another view of the
Tidewater refueling on its way back from the Med in 1965.
The ship at the left is a supply/fuel ship. There is a
hose hanging from a guy wire strung between the Tidewater
and the supply ship. The helmsmen of both ships had to
steer a true course so that the hose would remain
suspended above the water and not snap or get deep-sixed.
The ship in the center is a destroyer, one of several in
our flotilla headed for Norfolk. Just another beautiful day in the life of sailor in the Atlantic fleet. |
