We were on the Operation Blackjack cruise a midshipman cruise to Halifax Nova Scotia, on a cruise that took us to Barcelona Spain, Belfast Ireland, and back home through a storm near the Azores. I would like to hear from anyone that was in the same detachment aboard the Valley and does anyone have any information about Emmet Shaw, the Commander of our detachment? Keywords: Corsair detachment aboard the USS Valley Forge.
