Sailor in Dress Whites with Companion in Nightclub Booth, USS Ticonderoga Liberty Port Series

Sailors from USS Ticonderoga (CVA/CVS-14) enjoy an evening ashore at a Pacific port nightclub during the Vietnam War era. Such R&R stops, common at bases like Yokosuka, Sasebo, and Subic Bay, offered brief respite from carrier operations in Southeast Asia and were frequently documented by crew members with personal cameras.
