On
22 July 1969, USS Hassayampa (AO-145) refueled USS
Hornet (CVS-12) during the Apollo 11 recovery mission. Hornet's
deck log shows this occurring on July 22, 1969, about 36 hours before she
picked up the Apollo 11 astronauts and crew fresh from their lunar
excursion. This photo insertion has been made possible by Bob Fish,
Trustee,
USS Hornet Museum
and former Hornet XO Chris
Lamb.
Helmsman during this underway replenishment with USS Hornet (CVS-12) was
Chuck Snyder, QM2, USS Hassayampa (AO-145), 1967-1971
