In WWI, WWII, Korea and the Vietnam Wars, US Sailors were stationed aboard US Navy warships; that was their home. Where the ship went, they went. Which is why US sailors used to get emotional when their warship went down during the Second World War (over a hundred USN warships were sunk in WWII)...it was their home. US sailors during the Viet War went on WESPAC cruises usually lasting about 6 months on the gunline in Vietnam. Sometimes more, seldom less. Airmen stationed aboard carriers flew home or flew to their carriers while they were at sea. Another words a group of airmen could fly their jets to the US while their carrier was cruising (sailing) home, thus arriving stateside weeks before their fellow shipmates arrived in port.
