The first in the series of the good video clips I took on the tiger cruise - I'm intending to upload one of these suckers a day as raw video clips.
This was after I flew in and overnighted on the boat itself. We were delayed from our planned departure time by roughly 4 hours thanks to a Helicopter Carrier (or if you want to be more correct an Amphibious Carrier) wanting to leave before us. Shot from the fantail as we steam south and slowly more towards the east as we get around the Big Isle.
Ship: USS Milius DDG 69, during the 2010 Tiger Cruise.
Camera: Droid X
A tiger cruise is what the navy calls it when family and friends of a ship's crew ride on the ship for a week at the end of deployment. Don't ask me why - but that's the term XD In this case, we board as the ship leaves pearl harbor, and ride with 'em back to San Diego, their home port, taking roughly 6 days.
