Thank you @Angel Galllardo - the best part of this entire VIDEO was not the internals but the EXTERNAL: 21:08 - I served on CONNIE (77-81) and wished we had the technology you have today. I wanted to share what I have experienced my LIFE ON CONNIE. You would not believe what we saw while on board. I have this experience on a website, HOWEVER, youtube will not allow me to share. Just search Bobby Estey, maybe you can find. 78-79 IRAN, yes, we were THERE. First US presence for Decades, it was an emergency, get a US ASSET near IRAN. WHO WAS THERE CONNIE, no CHAIR FORCE, NO ARMY, NOTHING, ONLY Connie, Sterrett, Kansas City and Waddell. Learn your history, 4 USN SHIPS the entire USA was NAVY.
Yes! I sure consider myself lucky to have been there and able to record some of my experiences in my Naval career. Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing. I'll check those links that you mentioned once I get a chance. Have an awesome day 😎!
Awesome! Great memories, I still have a few more videos from my last WESPAC in 2000 I need to find them and do some editing and upload them. I’ll try to do that soon. Thanks for the comment! Have a great day!

Was you still in Connie in 03 Wespac? In S6 division?
Sorry for the late response. No, I wasn’t. I left on 2002.
