Keywords: blackandwhite monochrome black and white 330-PSA-203-64 (USN 1105429): It’s excusable that she’s a little seasick. After all, until she went aboard the USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) in Sydney, Australia, “Matilda” had never been to sea…or even seen a ship! Matilda is the unofficial name given to the two-year old, 40 pound kangaroo, as a tribute to Australia since the country’s “unofficial” national anthem is “Waltzing Matilda”, and she is a gift for the Lafayette Park Zoo in Norfolk, Virginia, from Australia. After Commander F.H. Austin, Enterprise’s Senior Medical Officer diagnosed Matilda’s case a slight seasickness, she began feeling better and is reportedly enjoying her voyage with the nuclear task force. The three ships are on their last leg of the 33,000 mile world cruise. Photograph released September 24, 1964. (2015/11/03). 330-PSA-203-64 (USN 1105429): It’s excusable that she’s a little seasick.
