In the Fall of 1977 the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk left San Diego for the Western Pacific.
I was a 21 year old Second Class Petty Officer going on my first overseas cruise.

Wednesday 26 Oct. 1977
"Heavy seas (12-15 ft.) last night. Man overboard called away this morning. Unable to determine if it was a drill, a false alarm, or actual. Nobody was recovered. Chief Lewey was replaced by Chief Elman. Our position at 17:30 UTZ was N 30:44 lat. & W 128:15 long. Crossed to Victor Time Zone at 18:00. The man overboard turned out to be a false alarm. 12-15 ft. seas thru the day."
