Coleran and T.A. Smith
July 1962 |
Like her predecessor the USS Betelgeuse (AK-28/AKA-11),
the USS
Betelgeuse AK 260, stopped at many ports:
Scotland, Cuba, Spain,
Morocco, Sicily,
Jamaica, Haiti, and Gibraltar.
while on the "Goose" I crossed through the
Bermuda Triangle and the equator
and ported in Kingston, Jamaica once.
While in the Navy I had liberty inFrance, England, Italy and Greece.
I made many trips to Scotland in the two years
that I spent on the "Goose" and many liberty
trips to fulfill my mother and Grandmothers
lifelong dream of seeing the Blarney stone in Ireland.
