What got you there in the 80's?

Aircraft carriers use to stop there while doing work ups or ref tra.
Oh yeah, ahh that would be Work Ups for a cruise, or Ref Tra refresher training. Work ups were only a week or so, ref tra could last a month or a bit more.
I paid my visits while on the USS Independence CV-62, wish I could have gone ashore, if nothing more than to just get a Base Patch.
