USS Intrepid Vietnam 1967

[@lesliewhite7665]

It's a very nice ship From top too bottom. The sight from the top very beautiful. You don't miss anything ❤❤❤❤❤

My grandfather was in the navy for 18 years and did two tours in Vietnam, on the intrepid. He was in crash and rescue and was also a Chief petty officer. I salute all of the men in and out of service.

This is some awesome footage. The aircraft seen from 0:38 to 0:45 is an A-4C (BuNo. 148566) that was flown by LTJG Michael A. Krebs of VA-34. This aircraft was shot down on November 7, 1967, after being hit by a SAM over Thanh Hoa, North Vietnam. LTJG Krebs bailed out over the Gulf of Tonkin and was rescued.

My F4 Phantom squadron went on that "pleasure cruise " from May- Nov of 68, just months before the Top Gun program started in March of 69. I didn't arrive to my squadron until one year later. Just 2 weeks into flying over N. Vietnam, our C.O. was shot down and captured. The RIO was unfortunately Kia. So our C.O. was a P.O.W. until March of 1973!

great points of view and I LOVE THE MUSIC overall nice film

[@jamesdewer]

That's a real warship. Wood decks, boilers, all men, no air-conditioning and never in Port

[@chetchelios3574]

My father Franklin D. Jordan was on the Intrepid from 1967 to 1968 . He hauled bombs around and loaded the jets . I also remember him bringing up the USS boxer and the USS Mars . If any of you remember him would love to hear from you .

[@georgeduran7292]

Loved it, I probably was one of the guys in blue shirts running around on the flight deck.❤

[@rapture9764]

Want to thank Nick Harper, Applebee, Uglow, Walton, Burke and many others for being there in difficult times on that carrier and being good friends. It made all the difference. God Bless !!!

[@garrettcole7317]

My granddad was a pilot on that ship, he was shot down June 30, 1967. His name was legrande Ogden Cole Jr. if you by chance have any video or pictures of him or his aircraft I would love to see them. By the way, he flew the A-4 Skyhawk, VA-15 squadron

[@dougdeem282]

I was working on the flight deck that day. I remember seeing his name painted on the side of his aircraft. A real American Hero.

[@darrenparsons6713]

Garrett, how do I contact you? My dad was on the ship with your grandfather as a pilot in va-15. I have a picture you are looking for.

[@rapture9764]

Sorry Garrett about your Grand dad. I was a plane captain with VA-15 and knew your dad for he flew the A4C I was in care of at times. I'm the one who took these videos you have watched. I was recouperating from a head injury and had the time to record these pictures.I remember him and it was a very sad day we lost him when he never returned back to the carrier. He was a very brave and courageous young fighter pilot and you should be always proud of him for his ultimate sacrifice. I wish I had personal pictures of the pilots but I don't. We lost a few great men out there. Be safe ! Joe Carrera

[@rapture9764]

Lee Cole was listed as Missing in Action (MIA). His remains were returned by the North Vietnamese On November 3rd, 1988 and identified on March 29th, 1989 at which time he was listed as Killed in Action (KIA). He wife, Billie Jo Cole was very active in the POW Wives Organization both locally in Jacksonville and nationally.

[@garrettcole7317]

@@rapture9764 wow! thank you for sharing this with me. And yes I will always be proud of his sacrifice.

[@timp.9582]

that's got to be heart wrenching to do unreps in seas like that, but when a carrier needs fuel, it's gotta get it.

[@allgood6760]

Awesome 👍..we used to operate Skyhawks with our RNZAF and we used to operate the SH2G Seasprite helicopter with our RNZN👍🇳🇿

[@vanthai7358]

From a boat people in 1980's, thanks to those servicemen and servicewomen from the free world for their noble contributions to the freedom of the South Vienamese people before 1975. May God Bless America.

[@jorgeestrada5713]

wasn't women there. P.D. Now is when those people are free!... Do not forget the disastrous defeat they imposed to the United States.

[@jkaposi]

Great film.

[@jamesrea8454]

No shots of the E1-B, eyes of the fleet, I was with VAW-121 on the 68-69West PAC deployment.

[@jamesdewer]

Work ups. This old 8mm film was great. No interference like video cameras from radar and no bombs. Car quals
