This is
really starting to get frustrating. You see the times that I called on Bayonne
it was to the Naval Supply Depot or Military Ocean Terminal as it was also
known. Now as far as I can see this has to be the view of the depot , at least
the buildings look to be the standard warehouse that was found in all the Navy
Supply Depots that I have been to. It seems that our friends at BRAC had this on
their hit list as well. Supposedly all this is supposed to save the tax payer
money to sort of stream line the military effort all around. In my opinion this
will eventually lead to another Pearl Scenario where we have all of our eggs in
one basket. I do not believe that these folks have really calculated how much it
will cost to put all this stuff back when we need it again. Any how I have
called on Bayonne while aboard the USNS AEOLUS T-ARC3 and USNS MIZAR T-AGOR
11. I went in there on the Aeolus in 1981 and the Mizar in 1989 both were
special project ships as we call them. Now if you are a working tourist like me
you just had to see the Big Apple. I saw the twin towers both times. I went on
the tour of the Statue of Liberty and of course saw Times Square. The movies
have a way of hyping the square, however up close and personal it's not all that
impressive, nothing but a bunch of shops selling the same items much like what I
saw in Glasgow Scotland when I was there.
