Simple, it's a port visit without full embarkment. CO probably decided
it was ok. Nothing wrong with that.
If you had a slight clue as to hard a Sailor works, how little they are
paid, and how long they're gone for, you'd understand why something like
this is a huge deal. Probably the only time in their career this will
happen. It will go far in motivating them to a deeper motivation in
serving.

Read something interesting in this morning paper about the USS Wasp
visit here this week.
Seems the sailors have a small 'motorcycle gang' called the 'Wasp
Raiders' aboard and bring their bikes along so they can terrorize
foreign ports. One Petty Officer 1st Class has a Harley Davidson 2000
Electra Glide.
Seems more like a Club Med cruise!
