That was reportedly about the experience (sans bunker fuel, plus jet fuel in some cases) of most sailors on the last few cruises of Enterprise.

Ugh. I cannot imagine that. At least on the Lexington, I knew I was only going to be on board a few more days, but...a deployment to the Indian Ocean????

I spent a week on the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, and that was nasty, but nothing like the Lexington.
