To all the Navy personnel . Here is a very belated " Happy Birthday " . I mistakenly missed this thread . I was very well indoctrinated into the Navy in 1966 . It took us thirty three days from Del Mar , Calif - three days at Pearl Harbor and then on to Iwakuni MCAS , Japan . The extra time was skirting to the west towards the Phillipines to try to avoid a outlying band of a hurricane(or typhoon ?) . Old LST U.S.S. Sumner County (along with a sister ship LST-name unknown) did not quite make it but the ships Captains did one hell of a job maneuvering through the swells and rough water . Job well done Navy!
