Popeye was aboard USS Hancock (CVA 19) in April 1975. This song by Elton John was heard often on the ships radio station. It was the #1 tune at that time. And for all of 1975. I had not heard the song for a long time then on Saturday we were in a consignment store and "Philadelphia Freedom" by Sir Elton John was blaring on the stores radio...man that tune brought back some serious memories of Fightin Hanna, Operations Eagle Pull and Frequent Wind..
We called her Fightin' Hanna she was the Queen of the sea...damn that was forty years ago...>> 29 April 1975.
