Bob I was on a different carrier so I don’t know about the K.H. (My point was they were motivated to riot because of being sent back for another cruise with out a break..6 mo. or 9 mo. is a long at sea.And liberty’s don’t cut it after a while)
You’re right that time at sea seems a lot longer than it actually is, even with fairly frequent port calls. (Of course, beautiful downtown Olongapo is one tourist destination that you just don’t want to miss out on.) Even just an unexpected week’s delay waiting for our relief ship to arrive on the gun line seemed to drag on.
