I joined the Navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea

I never grew tired of watching the sea and the sky during my WestPac cruise during the Vietnam War.

I spent as much time as I could on the flight deck when we were off line. Flying fish would break out of the ship wake  before diving back into the sea. The sunsets on the water were spectacular.  I enjoyed sitting on the bow at night and seeing the stars against a perfectly dark sky.
