Ships of My Navy Career

I often go back in time, remembering my days of traveling around the world with the US Navy, on the ships I was given the opportunity to serve aboard. I served aboard 5 ships and left the Navy with 12 years at sea, out of my 15 years of service. I spent a lot of time on ships as you can see. I find myself missing the travel, the countries I visited, the cultures I experienced and the lifestyle of living in the military. I have many times said, the greatest man I have ever met was while I was serving in the US Navy, and that is still true today. He was a great influence on my life, and helped form the man I am today.

I am posting some pictures of the ships I served aboard and traveled the oceans on. I served on two destroyers, and three aircraft carriers. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
