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.

Monday 14 Nov. 1977

"A normal day. Moved into the Arresting Gear berthing today, tried to sleep from 16:00 to 21:00 but didn't sleep much at all. Between there being no ventilation in the racks, and all the noise that the AB's make, it's a wonder anyone can sleep. I ended up sleeping for 2 hours behind the equipment rack before I went to work."

The A/G berthing compartment was located aft on the 03 deck directly beneath the flight deck and between 2 of the 4 arresting gear engine machinery rooms. I had moved from the OE berthing, which was much farther forward & down one deck on the 02 level.
