USS Blue Ridge (LCC-19), Flagship of the Seventh Fleet since 1979, Homeport: Yokosuka, Japan
I was aboard her in 1979 when we shifted Com7thFlt's Flag from the old U.S.S. Oklahoma City (CG-5).
Hope you are able to get a ship's tour while she is in port.
Special Note: You might notice a many of young sailor with shaved heads on liberty in/around your city. There is no need to worry, they were not recently treated for lice/bedbugs. They have recently completed an ancient sea ritual when they crossed the Equator. Can't give any details, but let's just say they are now "Trusty Shellbacks" and leave it at that. Of course, this now begs the questions: Who else in the fleet is a "Trusty Shellback?"
