Robert,

Here's a photo of the Sarsfield -- I'm not sure where I got it.  Somewhere 
in my closet are photos of shipmates I knew and places I went during my time 
on the Sarsfield: 1975-76. I have a cruise book from the Med cruise I made 
on the Sarsfield in '75-76. I was a sonar tech in Fox Division.
