Black Shuck Posted October 31 Posted October 31 Shortly after I reported to my first ship we left homeport for what was supposed to be a two month underway early this year. Ten months and one deployment order later we finally returned. Challenging and at times very not fun, but also incredibly rewarding in the end. Pearl Harbor with the USS Missouri in the background. Took a while but I’ve now been on board all four of the preserved Iowa class battleships. USS Decatur outbound. Sunset somewhere in the Philippine Sea. Sunset over Mt. Fuji. Okinawa, Japan. The tanker across the pier is one of the commercial ships MSC charters. We were the first destroyer to refuel from her underway. Very interesting project to be part of. Somewhere in the South China Sea. 11 Quote
