An
aerial stern view of USS America
(CV-66) and USNS Navasota
(T-AO 106)
during an underway replenishment operation in the Indian
Ocean, June 1981.
Wonderful
overhead view of America
in the Suez Canal, 21 October 1981,
At the completion of a deployment
in the Indian Ocean. This transit, however, proved to be more
tense
than the southward one, 5 1/2 months earlier,
owing to the fact that
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat had been
assassinated on 6 October.
