Set against the background of a sailor’s efforts to integrate family life with duty at sea, this book presents a look at life aboard an aircraft carrier on Yankee Station during the Vietnam War. Other events include accounts of recovery operations for the Apollo 11 and 12 Moon Landings, colorful descriptions of shipboard equator crossing ceremonies and the eventual decommissioning of USS Hornet (CVS-12). The narrative continues with a shore tour at Long Beach Naval Station dealing, at first, with the foibles of running a military Housing Referral Office staffed with a mixed crew of civilians and sailors and then by a stint in the Port Services Department, dealing with irascible commanding officers and stubborn shore facility operators. This is all leavened with the lively antics of two young daughters, a wife studying for a degree and part time studies by the author. The shore tour ends with an unexpected promotion and the requirement to spend another three years in the Navy. A final tour at sea as Assistant Repair Officer on a Destroyer Tender, the USS Prairie (AD-15) takes us to back to the Western Pacific, revisiting ports such as Yokosuka, Subic Bay, Singapore, Hong Kong and Kaohsiung, this time with more time in port to enjoy the richness of life in Asia. The story ends with a final few months ashore in San Diego, followed by retirement from the Navy and two years at San Diego State University to complete a long deferred degree in preparation for a new career. These two years of study were punctuated by annual summer-long adventures with two young daughters.
