Morehead City, NC is just up the road from the Marine Base at Camp Lejeune. The port at Morehead City is used frequently when Marines deploy, or return, from overseas by Navy ships.

Yep. I pulled in there many times when I was on an amphib out of Little Creek. It's a nasty little port-narrow entrance channel, screwy currents, small turning basin-I never liked it. It's also one of the small number of ports I pulled into multiple times but never got liberty there.

Count yourself lucky. You didn’t get any liberty b/c there’s NOTHING to do here! LOL

As a 2nd MarDiv type I deployed out of Morehead City several times back in the mid 1960's. Boarded an LST twice, a LSD and APA each once, on deployments to Spain, the Med, and Vieges, PR.
