Early Deployment

The Mighty IKE pulled out of Norfolk on 21 Feb for little cruise to the other side of the world, mainly to deliver American goodwill and cheer, but also some other stuff.

Other stuff, like the business end of an F/A-18C.

We rolled past the Moroccan coast line in the Straits of Gibraltar. The seas were rough and the view obscured, but land is land and I am always glad to take it in when I can.

Just checking on the ordinance. Cause, you know, that could be a collateral duty of mine. Or I am waaay to close to things that go boom.

I had no idea that the fintails of bombs had expiration dates and warranties. How would one cash in on that warranty? "Um, yes, I would like to speak to someone in Customer Service regarding the bomb tail warranty. I think they are out of date..."
