Dave Posted November 22, 2015 Share #15 Posted November 22, 2015 Commander Naval Surface Force - Atlantic Fleet The old and the new..... Technically, those are the "old" and the "old"...when I worked on the admiral's staff from 2010 to 2011, he went on a purge to get rid of every emblem that said "US ATLANTIC FLEET" on it. He had almost some sacred determination about it. I went downstairs to talk to the flag cook one day and he was boxing up all our old flag mess mugs. I asked him why he was and it was because the admiral wouldn't allow them to be used anymore because of the emblem so he was ordered to throw them out. Needless to say, five years later, I still drink coffee almost every day out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted November 22, 2015 Share #16 Posted November 22, 2015 ....and the Middle East Force afloat in Bahrain - another 2 star flag rank MIDDLE EAST FORCE During the 60's and 70's this was considered isolated duty aboard the USS LASALLE (AGF-3) The Great White Ghost of the Arabian Coast. This was a little game played with the Middle East nations, we were afloat, so we weren't really present on their precious lands. LASALLE was later redesignated from LPD-3 to AGF-3. One of the empty threats our chiefs would toss out was reassigning us to either the La Salle or Diego Garcia when we would mess up Another Flagship of the Middle East Force was the CORONADO (AGF-11) previously (LPD-11) The Ivory Beast of the Middle East - She was also painted white to lessen the effects of the Arabian sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
