No Fixed Address RV

90,000 tons of pulling power, and can park anywhere on 75% of Earth's surface.
Let me take a moment to explain just what exactly a Sea Story is. It usually involves something out of the ordinary that happened while on deployment. Sometimes it’s something spectacular, sometimes it’s something humorous. Sometimes it’s a story that didn’t even happen while at sea. Sailors sometimes brag about their accomplishments or embellish their participation in events. Generally when you get a group of sailors together, it’s not long before they start regaling their shipmates with their Sea Stories. If a sailor starts off their Sea Story with, “This is a no sh!#ter”, then it’s most likely highly embellished or exaggerated, which is normal for sailors. I will not start my stories with that phrase since all of these stories actually happened to me (I will put a disclaimer if I am “re-telling” a story I heard from another shipmate). None of these stories involve RV’s at all, but they DO involve travel since most of these happened while at sea and so they fit the genre of this site.

In 1984, I made a deployment on the USS Saratoga (CV-60) to the Mediterranean Sea.  Two events stand out about this deployment.  The first is that I was chosen as one of two enlisted sailors who got to fly the “TRANSLANT”, which means Transit the Atlantic...
