Thanks John, no that was before my time aboard. I was stationed on it from 1987 to 1989 in Gaeta, Italy and traveled around the Mediterranean Sea. It was a life experience for sure.

Glad you were not on there for that, Two years stationed in Italy must have been awesome! I have visited a few ports in the Med. on Merchant Ships -- always interesting.
