I was actually on the HSL-47 deployment aboard Lincoln just prior to this one from Oct 2004 to February 2005 for Bravo to Sea.  I did work ups for this 2006 deployment, but rotated to VTs before deployment.  It doesn’t seem so long ago.  I remember they would usually turn the lights and TACAN after they recovered the E-2 while we were still in starboard D.  We would just laugh it off.
