Еще пара снимков, сделанных с борта американского танкера "Кавишиви" в августе 1971 года во время ожидания приводнения капсулы КА "Аполлон-15" в акватории Тихого океана. Мне не удалось разглядеть номер буксира. Вижу, что СБ, а вот номер не читается.

I am not sure if the USS OKC picture was taken the day we gave it a good black-oil washdown (if you remember my Memory Shop story), but very likely. A black day for Capt Wyand, I am sure . Kawishiwi had role as secondary recovery ship for the Apollo-15 splashdown. It gave us a good ringside seat. And it was fun practicing picking up a floating Apollo capsule. (NASA loaned us one; let me tell you, it is close to impossible to drive a 38,000 ton ship in open water & stop it dead alongside a floating capsule.
