You never picked up a brass Zippo Commerative lighter on the Jersey? It was a 40 year Jersey/ 50th Anniversary Zippo with the commissioning dates (the last date being incorrect). There were the numbered Jersey ceramic steins also. On the sea trials, once the ship got far enough out to sea, the ship store starting selling cigarettes at $4 a carton so a lot of yardbirds stocked up on cigarettes. They could have cared less for lighters, steins, shirts or hats.
You never got back to me about the Golf Course set up (I always thought it was located in Los Alamitos because that's where the base is).
