  2. 36:10 My dad served on the Shangri La CVA-38 in the 1960s. By then she had gotten the angle deck refit and was operating F-8 Crusaders, A-1 Skyraiders, and A-4 Skyhawks. Decommisioned in the early 70s, she languished in Philadelphia until the late 80s or early 90s when my dad stood on New Jersey bank of the Delaware River and watched them tow away his old ship for scrap.
