I'm trying to find proof that US Naval ships were there to observe the French test in 1971! I was aboard the Uss Norton Sound! Does anybody here have any pertinent information on this?

Hey shipmate. I was on that cruise aboard the USS NORTON SOUND. I still have the ships crossing the line newpaper too. I don't believe information about that is releasable. However I do recall either Look or Life magazine had a picture and story about it after we returned to home port. That would have been September 1971. We we left home port in July, stopped in Hawaii, and sailed to the South Pacific.

Daily Horoscope for December 20
Aquarius
This is another day when financial matters cause trouble, as Mars reverses in your seventh house. What started off as a minor niggle with a partner or an opponent yesterday could now escalate into a full-blown row, but at least this will give you the chance to get certain things out into the open. Legal issues from the past may become ugly. If you're pointing the finger of blame at someone, don't get so heated that you accuse them of everything under the sun.
