1989 she was at the Philadelphia navy yard.

I spent the most miserable time of my life on that rust bucket

Why watch your music videos. Tractor pull with music, idiocy

My name is Dennis Davis I served aboard the USS Shangri-la from August 1959 to May of 1960. During that time, we were in dry dock in Bremerton, Washington> seeing an aircraft carrier in dry dock with no water under her was daunting. In March we left to serve on the East Coast from Mayport, Florida. Going around South America was quite an adventure. Very few sailors ever go around the Horn of South America. I enjoyed my time in the Navy.

My father too served on her in the mid 50's. I think around 56. He served as a BT.

My dad said he was oh her ,and ran the store, barbershop, and opened and closed the blast doors , anyone know what his job title was????

I served with the MarDet aboard "Indy" from October 1991 to November 1993.

My grandpa was on this aircraft carrier he is now 87 he’s still alive to this day he fueled aircrafts on this ship he was a fireman too

My dad was a jet pilot from 1957 to 1959 on the USS Shangri-la. With one of his landings in June or July, 1958, the catch failed to stop his plane and they went overboard. All were fine, but that day still haunts him; did the catch really fail, or did he actually fail the landing? I know they recorded every landing and I would love to know if anyone has video of that landing or knows how I could find one. He's still alive and kicking strong at 88. I found a beautifully framed and matted color photo of the Shangri-La and could his name and rank, etc. He cried he was so touched. So I would love to give him the video of his landing so he can finally have his answer.

That's my wife

Dad served on her. CPO fire control and gunner assist 1944. Saw SARA go down during bikini after the war also.

I was on board that cruise and left her in Palermo Sicily in 67. #3 fireroom BT

Served aboard 66-69. Two and a half Med Cruises, flew back to Brooklyn Navy Yard from Rota, Spain.

Thank you for the video. I love learning about the USS Shangri-La. My father was in the US Navy and served aboard her during 1945-1946. He was a fireman and worked in the engine room. He was a gifted mechanic. I am proud of his service to our country.

Put on a spare tire on front

My father was a Marine Corporal stationed on-board the USS Shangri-La (CV-38) on her maiden voyage from 1944-1946. He was a 40mm dual quad loader during general quarters and served as the CO's guard on the bridge. Thanks for the upload.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CABOVER?

Cool thanks

My great grandfather was stationed on her during WWII in the Pacific.

Grandfather served as the radar operator in late 1950’s on her, always loved hearing his stories. When I asked what had happened to the ship he responded: "they turned her into razor blades". Miss his wisdom. If there any young men reading this who have their grandfathers still cherish the wisdoms they can give you.

my grandpa was on the shang in the late 50s. was on a cruise with gene cernan (last astronaut on the moon)

USS Blandy (DD 943) at 3:45 mark ....

ran the foreward span wire for refueling

Was on the Shang from Aug 66 to Jun 69. Was in Reenlistment and Seperations section of Admin Division. Did most of the transfers from the Med Ports so you guys could get back home.

I did 1969 and 1970 Med cruises on CVA-67, JFK, with Fighter Squadron 14 Tophatters.

I was on that cruise and the '66 cruise- my first ship.

69 to 73 cook s2 division .

Are cabovers coming back in the us? Seems like allot of people are reconditioning old k100’s and 362’s to use on the road

I'm curious as to why a person wouldn't take the time to pull a single of the rear and swap out the front flat rather than punch holes in the bed deck ???

I don't see many cabover semi trucks out on the roads anymore like I used to back in the day.

In it's day this was model was king of the jungle.

i was aboard indy from 1983n-87 ht2 john beach

little more...crunch. but looks great love those and drove those. Best on the road in my opinion

What happened to it? is it restored or did you guys put it back on the job earning?

Lovely video, you notice the architecture without being distracted by flora.

He was mentally disabled my whole life. But he wasn't before he got sick, he was a straight a student. Top of his class.

My Dad came on in April of 66' on til April 67' got sick. sent home honorable discharge. His second bit in the Navy. What was Operation Strike X? he got sick right after.

Hope you're saving it a bad ending. Please restore it!!!

I was an Indy crewman from 10/74 - 6/78.
