Friday 18 Nov. 1977

"Vice Admiral 'Somebody' (I don't remember), came on board today. I was in my rack when he got here. He is the Commander of the 7th Fleet.

Got no mail today. Went to bed after lunch. We were UNREP'ing with the 'Sacramento' when I got up at 23:00."

Though I didn't remember at the time, I now know that the admiral was Vice Adm. Robert B. Baldwin. He came aboard and transferred his flag to the Kitty Hawk, thus making it his flagship, once we entered the operational theatre of the Western Pacific.
