Memories This is the year that North Korea was causing a lot of trouble by constantly kicking the UN inspectors out and preventing inspections of their nuclear facilities. Then, Kim Il Sung died and caused instability in the region. We were constantly being told that we would be diverted over to the Korean Peninsula region throughout the entire deployment.
The first year that we had satellite TV on the ship - watched CNN International all deployment. North Korea constantly in the news. Also that summer, we got to watch O.J. Simpson's infamous Bronco chase on the freeway in California.
Received my Golden Shellback card when we crossed the International Date Line at the Equator.
