Every Navy Ship has a nickname. My ship was built & commissioned in 1960, the year the Magnificent Seven movie came out. Our hull number was 7. Guess what our Nickname was? I attended a reunion with 45 of the guys we went to Vietnam and back with, in Tucson about 3 weeks ago. Whenever the ship completed a difficult operation, we would play our song on our topside loud speakers! To this day, my cell phone ringer music is this.

[@KyleCowden]

That is epic @pastorart1974! Thank you for your service.

This is just excellent. It is hard to imagine this version of The Magnificent Seven being played any better!

四十多年前，記得我老爸曾經擁有這首曲子的黑膠唱片，在電視三個頻道只能播放無聊至極的節目時，ㄧ遍又一遍透過唱片音響讓家裡洋溢著這段熟悉的旋律。 當然我爹的職業生涯，跟樂手，騎士，牛仔這些貼近曲目主題的身份毫無相關，但童年回憶深處，這首音樂活生生成為老爸留給我各種印象的一種最佳代替，只要聽到音樂就先想起老爸坐在舊家客廳裡自若的輕鬆神情…… 四十多年後老爸不在的父親節，我還是一遍又一遍播這首曲子給自己聽，希望老爸早已雲遊四海的靈魂也已經找回曾經嚮往的豪邁精神～

In May of 1975 that ship proved how Magnificent it was by its rescue of the SS Mayaguez. Which was the last battle of the Vietnam War.
