Underway Aircraft Carrier......FUN!

Who says there's not a pool out on the aircraft carrier ?!?
The crew got a welcome break for "SWIM CALL" as they refer to it. They gather at a platform/elevator off the hangar bay, and jump into the sea (according to Mike it was a 25+ foot drop). They swam around to tread water for an hour (exercise....fun...challenge). Then they went up to the flight deck for a "STEEL BEACH BBQ", where they grill out on the hot deck and enjoy some staple barbeque favorites for lunch!
Mike said they were all exhausted and sunburned since they were all pale as ghosts from being in the ship for so long, away from the sun effects!

 This was just another great shot showing how they receive supplies/replenishment from a Helicopter
