MY STORY – A Show of Arms
I met my ship at Subic Bay Navy Base, Philippines 1974 the U.S.S. Constellation (CVA-64). The aircraft carrier’s nickname is “Connie.” The flight deck is equal in size to four football field. The flattop is thirteen stories from the bottom of the hull to the top of the island the structure rising above the flight deck. With crew of over two thousand, she’s a floating city.
There’s an ice parlor, two ships stores, a barber shop, a gym, a library, and a weight room.
My name is Dennis Lee Adair. I am 100% service connected, honorably discharged, disabled veteran. I volunteered for the Navy when I was seventeen. The Vietnam War was going on.
