I served aboard the USS Guadacanal when I was a member of HMM-262 during Operation Steel Pike... November 1964. Steel Pike was a Nato operation it was the largest naval assault force since D Day. HMM lost 2 CH-34's in a mid air collision over Spain that killed 9 US Marines 3 from our squardron plus 6 Infantry passangers.
