My sea story about Admiral Hyland . . .

 

This is not really a "sea story", but a true story about one encounter I had with Admiral Hyland when we were at sea on the USS Forrestal.  It may seem insignificant, but it gave me a favorible impression of Mr. Hyland.  It was after midnight when the Flag Bridge was usually very quiet, maybe one Officer and a radar and surface plotting person.  A good time to go up and watch flight ops or if no ops, just enjoy the moodlit ocean.  I was sitting in the Admiral's chair one night, looking out over the flight deck, writing a letter home - when Admiral Hyland came on the bridge behind me.  I went to get up ASAP, when he put his hand on my shoulder, and said stay there son.  He stood along side me looking out at the flight deck, and chatted for a few minutes before he said he was going to go to bed. (the end)  I remember thinking how nice is was of him to chat with me, and let me stay seated in his chair.  I still remember it when I think of him.  He always treated us well, especially when our band was playing at an event he was hosting.  When I was standing surface plotting watch, he always spoke when he was on the bridge.  He always seemed very appreciative of our efforts.  In addition to his distinguished military accomplishments, he was a true gentleman. . . kp
