Subject: Don't Land Near the Naked Sailors
James Dunnigan    3/22/2005 11:23:01 PM

Sunbathing is a popular pastime for sailors at sea, at least when the ship is in
tropical waters. It?s also a bit of a morale boost, as the female sailors will
often wear very skimpy attire while working on their tans. But this can
sometimes cause problems. During the Aceh relief operations in January and
February, the American aircraft carrier hosted many civilian aid workers on
board. Most of the flight operations were with helicopters, leaving a lot of the
flight deck free for other activities, like sunbathing for the civilian aid
workers and off-duty sailors. But the captain soon had to ban such activities on
the flight deck, as the nearly naked female sunbathers were providing a
dangerous distraction to incoming pilots, and the ground crews moving around on
deck. The sunbathers were banished to other parts of the ship that were less
visible to incoming aircraft.

Obviously a serious investigation of this topic calls for photos.
