We did this the day after we boarded the USS George Washington, which I still count as one of the most unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had. I don’t know what it was, but it really struck a nerve, as if I was a sailor in a past life and seeing those portholes and barracks and stuff sort of brought me back to some unknown past that I had. It was weird! I had goosebumps the minute I was on board as if I were re-visiting someplace familiar. Anyway, I REALLY loved that whole tour, having access even to the bridge. AMAZING.
