R&R Anyone?
I took mine in Sydney with a buddy, we did a little deep sea fishing one day, rented a Jeep, ran out of gas and got lost in the outback for a few hours...[:)]

On our 72-73 cruise (USS Midway CVA-41 - VAW-115); Subic Bay, Philippines was the base of operations for our Carrier Group when we came off the line (Gulf of Tonkin) for R&R. However, occasionally we broke the monotony and visited Hong Kong (several times) and Singapore (once, Christmas 1972 with the Bob Hope Show aboard).
I did have several unscheduled one night R&R's in Da Nang when a fouled deck forced us to land elsewhere and return to the carrier the next day! We stayed on base and spent the evening in the Red Dog Saloon, but it seems a rocket attack was always schedule for us when we were there; we felt special! [:D]
This is a picture of Bob Hope and this troop at the end of his Christmas 1972 Show on the Midway.
