We never called em ships or boat, they were known as targets.

Yep did work ups and the 1994 cruise. I was with the AirDet. I was assigned to HSL-44 Det 9. Set behind the USS George Wahington CVN-73 and watched the jets break over us while lining up for landing for 6 months.
Cool cool. I was on Lincoln in 89. Got sent TAD, went out for some quals for a couple weeks. Was pretty tight compared to the CVN. Steve Goodman was the Corpsman. Cool dude, dunno when he got off.
Loved the Destroyers and Cruisers so much more than the Carriers. Everything from chow lines to liberty and liberty ports.
Just a thought, but I'd imagine that they were more like a "small town" than the "small city" that a carrier has in the way of numbers of people. Much smaller and tight-knit organization. But hey, I was in the Army, so I'm basing this idea on the fact that I was primarily stationed at small bases. (One of those bases was in a pretty sucky place.)
Ships carry boats.
What we used to remind our aviators when headed out for their afternoon tours; "Ships don't fly, but planes (and helos) don't float." See ya in a couple of hours...

I find it odd that they did what they did with the whole funeral thing. I could see him being alive. The way our government lies to us it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
We're not radical Islam, we don't parade or victims around. If he was indeed shot in the head you'll likely never see an official photo. Let the conspiracy continue.

I know what you mean. I was stationed on the island of Crete. NSA Souda Bay had 175 permanent party personnel. I was aviation but my roomate was a seebee and we partied with the black shoes. It was one of my best duty stations.
