Comments:        AWESOME WEBSITE. JUST HAPPENED TO FIND IT THROUGH THE NEWSLETTER. SURE DOES BRING BACK SOME FOND MEMORIES. I WAS A QM2 AND WELL REMEMBER THE ROUGH WEATHER IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC AND THE BEAUTIFUL WEATHER IN THE SOUTH. I REMEMBER WELL WHEN THE SWKYWATCHER WAS THE FIRST RADAR SHIP TO BE SENT OFF THE COAST OF CUBA DURING THE BLOCKAIDE AND THE BAY OF PIGS INVASION. WE PICKED UP CUBANS TRYING TO FLEE IN ALL KINDS OF WATER CRAFT. WE BROUGHT THEM ON BOARD AND TRANSFERRED THEM TO THE COAST GUARD. I DON'T REMEMBER HOW LONG WE HAD BEEN ON DUTY BEFORE WE WERE REPLACED, BUT WE WERE READY FOR SOME LIBERTY IN KEY WEST. AFTER A FEW DAYS, KEY WEST WAS READY TO SEE US LEAVE. WE KNEW HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME ON DUVAL STREET. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
