diving into the ocean. Wait, no, that was his 2nd favorite thing.... his first was target practice with the M-50.
However, my son was on nothing like a carrier, or destroyer. He was in the Coast Guard and I believe his ship was around 200'... not quite maybe? It was the USCG Citrus... decommissioned in 1994, I was at the ceremony. It was actually quite the event... ships are treated with great respect.
Today it's owned by the Dominican Republic and still in service. - JamesJM
