[C320-list] Leaking portlight

[Chef Adam Weiner]

Check out BEEF STEW FOR 2500: Feeding Our Navy from the Revolutionary War to
the Present by Rudy Shappee.

I just returned from teaching at the Naval Weapons Station in Charleston
where I help teach the people who feed the officers and sailors for the
nuclear vessels.  2,000 plus people per meal with nearly 3,000 at lunch.  An
amazing operation and that's on land.  Intentelectually I know how they do
it at sea, but mentaly I can't quiet fathom doing this at sea for days on
end.

They are talking about flying me on and/or off the carrier at sea.  I told
them I would only do this if Dick Walker was the pilot.

Would the VALLEY FORGE be of the same class as the HORNET?  I have been
aboard her.

Adam

Yeh. Isn't it amazing how they do that?
