Interesting little tid-bit about the USS Card (from Wikipedia)

In 1964, while operating as an aircraft ferry, Card was sunk with explosives planted by two Viet Cong commandos in the Harbor of Saigon, South Vietnam. She was refloated 17 days later and returned to service after extensive repairs.
 
Aboard USS Cape Gloucester (CVE-109), a Plane Director uses arm signals to position a TBM Avenger bomber on the ship's starboard catapult, during
operations off Kyushu, Japan, 8 September 1945. Flight deck crewmen are attaching a catapult bridle to the plane.

Looks like a go-pro doesn't it? Proof of time-travel?

Evidence the navy was way ahead of its time; sortie footage downloaded onto youtube and distributed via social media before lights' out!

I posted this on my Frankfurt American High School FB page:

Not everyone was aware that just west of Bad Nauheim was Hitler's Western Headquarters, Adlerhorst & Ziegenberg- an enormous underground bunker complex. I had fantasies about getting into it and discovering a treasure trove of souvenirs. I did grab an enameled steel sign off the wall of one bunker, though. This is about 1955, my sister, Kathy, and me on the rubble of a destroyed section of the bunker.
What different experiences we had as Brats!
