My Father was on the USS Independence (CVA-62) in 1981-85. He has been feeling nostalgic lately since he learned his old ship is being towed to TX for scrapping.

 

I thought a great Fathers Day gift would be to get him something from the ship. So, if anyone knows where I could find something authentic from the ship with the ships name name on it. I would be very appreciative. I dont have the faintest idea where to start looking.
