Apollo 7 recovery

[edit]

The article states:

On her return to EastPac in 1968, Nicholas was assigned to support NASA's Apollo Program. From 8 to 23 October and again between 19 and 22 December she operated in the Pacific space capsule recovery areas; first for the Apollo 7 mission, then for Apollo 8. After each of these assignments she returned to Pearl Harbor for training exercises in Hawaiian waters in preparation for a return to the Western Pacific.

The problem with this text is that Apollo 7 did not splash down in the Pacific Ocean, but rather in the Atlantic near Bermuda. Tfdavisatsnetnet (talk) 15:36, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
