                       On this page you will see in as much as possible a skyline or photo of the ports that I have visited while as an enlisted man and a civil mariner working for Military Sealift Command , the photo above is that of Manama Bahrain. Manama was the last port I saw before I left Military Sealift in 1998. I think I had been there several times with the final being aboard USNS KILAUEA T-AE-26.  When ever we called at the port we took on fresh produce, and some times fuel. Mainly fuel was taken on at the port of Jebel Ali in Dubai. When ever I was on a reefer ship we delivered stores to the flag ship docked in Bahrain. I have called on Manama aboard the following ships; USNS WALTER S.DIEHL T-AO 193, USNS SPICA T-AFS 9, USNS SAN JOSE T-AFS 7, USNS GUADALUPE  T-AO 200 and I may have been there on the USNS PECOS T-AO 197. Bahrain serves as the HQ for MSCSWA and if it still serves the purpose USS LA SALLE AGF3  was  the flag ship for the US NAVY'S 5TH FLEET. The last time I was there the Seabees were working on a footer for a huge building.  Since I have dealt with the Bahrain subject here I will not list it below. Thanks to the advent of Google Earth an areal view can provided . For Manama click here. For smoother reading of material the table method will only be used to display links to a separate page.
