Come Sail Around the Planet With Me: as in Circumnavigate

A few years ago, I went on a military mission on one of the fastest ships on the sea. I am proud to say that our mission undoubtedly saved many of our service members from horrible mutilations and death!

If'n ye has a bit 'o time availablt to ye - I suggest ye click down belowdecks on me SEA Blog Links to read the swashbuckling accounts of this mission along with other high seas misadventures, close encounters, pirates, sharks and all manner of other mayhem.

Here be the link right here: http://chuckfasst.blogspot.com/2011/06/sea-blog-life-of-seafarer.html

Our Naval Master@Arms security. Two of trhese guys stayed with us throughout our time inside of the Persian Gulf.

M1A1 Abrams. Its like the BIGGEST tank in the world!

USNS Algol. Yes it is a Maersk ship, running similar missions to the one that is to be featured in the upcoming  Pirate movie and yes our "Pirate Watches" were interesting. The Maersk ship in the movie was taken over by pirates just a few months after this mission
