A Sailor's Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas, the ship was out steaming, Sailors stood watch while others were dreaming. They lived in a crowd with racks tight and small, in a 80-man berthing, cramped one and all. I had come down the stack with presents to give, And to see inside just who might perhaps live.

Tiger Cruise

Hi all, I am new to this site. It is inspiring to read about other boys and girls (really young men and women). My husband and I have just returned from the Tiger Cruise aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. We flew to Hawaii on 10-1 and set sail for San Diego on 10-3.

I wrote a daily blog for my local news station and you can read it ther… Continue
