Apparently some didn't take it too easy!

"This was my first ship. I went aboard from VF-191 in June(?) '53 and took her through the Panama Canal to Norfolk for her overhaul and shakedown cruise to Gitmo. I was a PNSN in the Air Office and still have a piece of prop that came through the flight deck and chased me around the Air Office. If you were on that cruise you know how many A/C we lost due to barrier crashes and ramp strikes."
