The US Navy sponsors Tiger Cruises for family members and friends of crewmen to let the public see first hand the might of our Navy...

Those are awesome. i'm suprised they are still doing them
The air displays out to sea are the best.
Saw my first supersonic fly by on one. F-14 Tomcat

I remember the first time I saw a carrier, Biggest thing I had ever seen!
Anybody who has never seen one first hand should do it if the opportunity comes. They truly are a technical and engineering marvel. That men could build, and operate, such a thing always amazes Me.
Conversly, first time I saw a submarine at Pearl, I could not believe how SMALL they were. Hats off to all our seamen who live and work on all these craft! :D

I read something once that said only 5% of Americans have ever seen an Aircraft Carrier. Living in San Diego County and going Down Town a lot I've seen them forever. Very impressive sight.
When I was a kid my Uncle was the XO on the Kitty Hawk, been on it several times and 12 years ago went out on the Ranger with a friend who was a F-14 pilot. What a blast.
