USS ALSTEDE (AF-48)

This is a picture of the 'Stede. purchased at the ships store around 1967 or 1968. I had to tilt the picture so I didn't get the flash.
Maybe you've got this already, I didn't see one like this on any of the sites. You can see from the signal flags that there's a pilot on board and it's displaying our call sign, NCYV. It was probably in Chesapeake Bay, returning to Norfolk NOB.
I thought if you didn't have it maybe you could use it. Frank Topp SM3

Our prayers go out to everyone.
All of us at RAM ENTERPRISES are deeply saddened
with the terrorist acts across our great nation.

The room rates are $70.00+ tax, and this is a great rate considering we will be on the beach. Just walk out of the hotel, down to the water for a stroll, wet your feet and bring your bathing suit. Hopefully, you can still wear the one you wore back in 19??.
