I had the honor of participating in this exercise when I was with Third fleet in Pearl Harbor. I was doubly honored to work directly for Vice Admiral Unruh COMTHRDFLT very closely. I admired that man to no end. Started as E1 BT then mustang to f4 phantom pilot over Vietnam pow escaped then became first Commanding Officer of Top Gun Marimar CA. Then battle group commander 1 2 3star. I had even gotten to fly with him. I spent a lot of time alone with him as his driver/aid and he taught me tons. Third fleet is who the Japanese surrendered to after Nagasaki Hiroshima to Admiral Halsey The Bull. How lucky was I. I also shared this experience with a long time friend Paul Lemmeyer.
