Upon crossing the Pacific on a West Pac cruise, The U.S.S. Midway took me across an entire hemisphere of the planet. Cruising near the Australian coast to embedding deep within Vietnamese Waters of the Tonkin Gulf in 1965. From the many ports of Japan. To the Bay in the Philippines the Navy calls home. Up and across the top of the planet down to the bottom and back. When they say you'll see the world if you join the United States Navy, they are not kidding!
