The Apollo 11 ship, carrying Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. and Michael Collins, hit the water at 12:50 p.m. EDT, climaxing an adventure in which two men walked the surface of the moon for the first time.

Lands Upside Down On landing, Apollo 11 turned upside down in the three-to-six-foot waves and the astronauts inflated flotation bags to right it. The same thing happened to Apollo 7 when it landed last October. "We're still in stable 2 upside down," Armstrong reported, "but slowly righting ourselves." Eleven minutes later, with aircraft and helicopters overhead, Armstrong reported ship bobbing right side up. "Stable 1," he called out. The landing was not visible from the carrier because of a combination of a hazy sky and the fact that it was just after dawn in the Pacific.

Like hundreds of sailors on the deck, Nixon craned and peered through binoculars as he tried to see the descending craft. The first report from the recovery forces said the crew was in "excellent" condition. Live television from the ship showed Nixon peering toward the horizon. When word came that the astronauts were safely down, he clasped his hands and smiled. With the President was Col.

Another 16 persons from the Silja were reported rescued, apparently uninjured. The 52,371 -ton Silja was en route from Genoa to the Persian Gulf.

It was assumed that it was empty, after unloading its cargo in Italy, and that there was no danger of large-scale pollution to the resort beaches of Southern France. The freighter was en route from Marseille to Syracuse and Madagascar. Four women were reported among the 39 persons aboard the Silja. It was not known immediately how many were rescued.

Serving aboard the USS Hornet, the prime Apollo 11 recovery ship, are David R. Ohler of Losantville and Larry Taylor of Winchester. Also aboard the Hornet to welcome the astronauts will be President Richard M. Nixon. Seaman Radarman Ohler, 21, a 1966 graduate of Union High School near Modoc, has been assigned to the prime recovery ship for a little more than a year.

His mother, Mrs. Louisa Ohler, R. R. 1, said her son has known of the Hornet's pending assignment for about six months. The Hornet has been in the prime recovery area for about two weeks, Mrs.

Ohler said. As a radarman, Ohler could have a key role in tracking the Apollo 11 command module Columbia, before and after it splashes down. Mrs. Ohler, who hasn't heard from her son in a couple of weeks, said he didn't know for sure what his assignment would be Thursday. Ohler, who joined the Navy two years ago, has been in Hawaii, the Philippine Islands and off the coast of Vietnam, during his tour of duty.

If the Hornet picks up the astronauts as planned Thursday, Ohler will return to the States, by way of Hawaii, Aug. 9. However, he won't be coming home until Christmas, Mrs. Ohler said. His last leave at home was in April of 1968.

Boatswain's Mate 2.C. Taylor, 26, has been assigned to the USS Hornet since December but has only been aboard the ship since June. During the recovery mission he will operate the winch on a crane, which will pluck the Apollo 11 spacecraft from the water. Taylor is the son of Mr. and Mrs.

Robert Pucket of R. R. 'Winchester. He attended Winchester schools before entering the U.S. Navy in 1960.

Armstrong took a last look at the scene of Sunday's adventure and reported: "We have the moon in the field of view right now." While Apollo 11 still was in the blackout period, its fiery plunge was sighted by tracking plane, which made radio contact. It disappeared for a few minutes in a cloud bank and then came, back in full view of the cheering sailors on the deck.

"Right On Target" "You're right on target," the Hornet radioed Apollo 11. Five minutes before landing three small parachutes popped out to stabilize the craft. Seconds later, at 10,000 feet, three main 83.5-foot chutes blossomed majestically and Apollo 1 1 floated gently downward into the Pacific at 22 m.p.h. Originally, Apollo 11 was to have landed 250 miles to the west. But a forecast of thunder-showers for that area prompted a change.

The astronauts steered to the new site by changing the. angle of the spaceship as they dipped into the atmosphere. It was the fir time in the Apollo program that manual action had to be taken to change the course of a ship during re-entry.

On Monday, in another gripping moment in this drama of the ages, Armstrong and Aldrin blasted Eagle off the moon and rejoined Collins orbiting overhead in the. command ship, Columbia. They fired themselves out of lunar orbit to start a leisurely 60-hour return trip. Before hitting the atmosphere Thursday, the astronauts jettisoned a service module attached to the command ship.
