PacEx 1989 

I was there. Mighty Mo. I remember that typhoon too.

I was sitting on the bow of the CVN-70 during this mission right before we pulled into Pusan, Korea and before the quake of '89 back in our home station of Alameda, CA. (Wish I had my own video camera back then for this amazing fleet and again when we were in Pearl Harbor for the 50th anniversaries of Pearl Harbor day and V-J Days (when we launched WWII Aircraft off our flight deck)

There's probably a few of on this thread that were there. I was G1 flight deck and remember PACEX 89 well! I've got some VHS video of it packed away in storage, I should try and dig them out!

This was said to be the largest NATO ship movement since the Great White Fleet. It was amazing!!! 180 ships in total I had heard. It is priceless to have been able to be a part of it. I will continue to look for overhead pictures. Now that would be a site.

I wish some of our warships had participated, as in 1989 we still had 100 surface combatants. We'd already sold lucky old Hermes though... -A Royal Navy expert from England

Funny to hear all the radars sweeping the video camera’s audio circuits .

Was a Fire Controlman on USS Lynde McCormick (DDG-8) during PacEx '89. Thanks for the video!

Such a great video to find. I was there somewhere...on board the USS Sterett CG31.

Was a rmsa on uss constellation during pacex 89 was fun

I was at the helm of the USS Berkeley (DDG-15) for this event. We were first row, 2nd to the right of the formation. Which ship had the steering casualty in the middle of that formation? It was a Spruance class DD I think.

I too was on board the Carl Vinson. I remember the trip well.

I was there on the USS Fanning.....insane number of surface combatants. I remember an Unreps accident where someone got killed.

I was on the Big E. Also made a westpac on the Carl Vinson. Best time of my life.

Was there on the Missouri.

Was there on the Big-E Enterprise/VF-114

OS2 Barrett CVN-70 also there

Sexiest part of this video were the two Iowa-class battleships.

I was STG🎧 on the U.S.S. Hewitt D.D. 966 was the Spruance Class Destroyer that fell out of rank with the black smoke. There was a fire in the #2 generator room. This locked the rudders hard right for some reason, causing our ship to turn into the ranks next to us. In this flash situation, we had the U.S.S. Missouri Battle Ship approaching and the U.S.S. Enterprise Carrier close to running us over. They were all professionals, and kept disaster at arms reach literally. When you can hear sailors talking on the other ships. That is too close, way too close for those large ships.

I was there on the USS Kansas City (AOR3)

I was there...USS Bagley FF1069

I was there! Aboard Big E. Thanks for posting this vid.

I was on USS Carl Vinson at the time. Air Dept, V-3 Dept.

Trying to see if I see my ship USS Ouellet (FF-1077) was on board at the time
