Sad to see so much history put to waste. Not quite the same, but related, My dad has quite the Seashell collection from snorkeling off Kwajalein in the mid seventies; He worked on a Missle Tracking ship on the Pacific Missle Range.
this is the part of his naval experiance he talks of most (This was after his enlisted service when working as a Civilian Contractor.). I've heard tales from when he was aboard the midway. though little about (one story) when he was assigned to inland ("brown Water") duty aboard a PBR. which is quite understandable from the story I've heard. Much respect to all Veterans.
