I'm going to throw this out there what I'm wondering ...... Super Typhoon Haiyan just went through the Philippines  ... A humanitarian stop?

Could someone Private message me the dates. I've heard from my son but he is not sure the dates are set in stone.

I also heard the TC dates from my son.  Nothing from the XO, but apparently they announced it around 24 hours ago.  Looking forward to my week in Hawaii and the TC experience with my son!

Did you receive anything concrete like we did from the XO on the ship the first time? Most of us are waiting for official confirmation before we purchase tickets.

Just heard from the son, dates are set for the tiger cruise. Flights are booked and I am excited. Can't wait to see him and all the others.

My son is really enjoying this port stop.  His grandmother (my mother) was born in Italy.  My son posted on his Facebook page that he walked into a bakery, and the guy behind the counter looked just like his older brother!

USS Nimitz Arrives in Naples, Italy

By Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Nathan R. McDonald, USS Nimitz (CVN 68) Public Affairs

NAPLES, Italy - The aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68), along with embarked Carrier Strike Group 11, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 11, and Destroyer Squadron 23 arrived in Naples, Italy for a port visit, Oct. 30.

The visit allows Nimitz Strike Group Sailors and Marines the chance to experience the local culture and customs, as well as a variety of recreational activities, after being at sea for more than 70 days.

The ship’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) office has set up a number of tours and hotel stays while Nimitz is in port. The tours include trips to Pompeii, Rome and the Vatican, and Naples.

“It is very exciting to have this unique opportunity to visit Naples on a Western Pacific deployment,” said Capt. Jeff Ruth, Nimitz commanding officer. “The crew has performed exceptionally well, meeting every challenge presented to them on this deployment. They deserve this great opportunity and will certainly enjoy the sites, tastes and sounds offered in this superb port.”

The port visit came as a surprise for Sailors and Marines aboard Nimitz.

“It’s exciting,” said Damage Controlman 3rd Class Jonathan Feinberg. “I’m going to get a hotel room, enjoy all the sites and talk to my family.”

Nimitz left its homeport of Everett, Wash., March 30 for a scheduled Western Pacific deployment and is currently supporting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations.
