"FINEST IN THE FLEET"
USS Blue Ridge (LCC-19)

Color home movie footage filmed aboard the Command & Control Ship "USS Blue Ridge" on a Westpac Cruise in the early 1970s -- with stops in Okinawa and Yokosuka, and extensive footage of VERTREP and CONREP operations.

You'll see scenes filmed aboard the ship at sea and approaching the dock in Okinawa -- panning footage of the Naval Base, brief views of the port at Yokosuka and the old pre-Dreadnought Battleship Mikasa permanently moored there. At sea you'll watch replenishment operations with other ships and helicopters -- USS Mispillion (AO-105), USS Guadalupe (AO-32), USS Mobile (LKA-115), USS Schenectady (LST-1185), and others. There are deck shots of the Blue Ridge and great footage of the ships alongside her.

~CH-46 VERTREP
...and more!
