This contact sheet of personal 35mm slides traces a sailor's Vietnam War-era deployment aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ticonderoga. From gunnery exercises and shipboard camaraderie to liberty-port visits to Japan's Great Buddha of Kamakura and Hong Kong's harbor junks, these snapshots capture the full rhythm of a Seventh Fleet sailor's life -- duty at sea balanced by brief moments of rest and cultural discovery in Asian ports of call.
