After the long dark years of the late 1970s — the hostage crisis, the malaise, the retreat — 1981 felt like a turning point. USS America (CV-66) was out front in that turn, cruising the Mediterranean as the Navy's rebuilding took hold. The 600-ship fleet was coming. Reagan had said so. And crews like yours were going to make it real.
