Ft. Lauderdale
New Orleans
Gaeta Italy
Haifa Israel
Pearl Harbor
Yokosuka, Japan
etc. etc. etc. - all good.

On our way back from Panama, a friend of our Captain had a Catamaran in Ft. Lauderdale he wanted us to stop by and pick up for him (we tied it down to our helo-deck).
So we got 6 days of liberty right smack dab in the middle of spring break!
Oh, MY, GOD!!!!
Pussy every-fucking-where!!!!

A motel room with a couple buds and 5 girls with zero inhibitions comes to mind.

Man I probably have to say Ireland, we stopped there on the way to my deployment to Kuwait and it so green and the landscape is beautiful, I also had a Guiness at the airport and it was so much stronger, tastier and better than the Guiness we get here in the States, also I saw a few Irish women at the airport and they were so hot and their accent was sexy, I wanted to say Fuck Kuwait and just stay in Ireland!

Ireland rocks!

All you had to do back in those days in Ft. Liquordale was start walking in your dress whites. Within 5 minutes, you were picked up and brought to a bar for free drinks and lunch. That was in the mid-80s - the people of that town absolutely loved the Navy back then. Hopefully it's still the same.

We brought BB-61 to Kiel back in 89, I think it was. Kiel Week was in full swing. What a blast.

I was on an LKA off the coast of Beirut in 83. What were you on at the time...
