I was stationed in Turkey in late 68 to 70
Craziest port we ever pulled into was Columbo Sri Lanka. 1975 end of Vietnam.
We were the first War Ship to pull in in a few years.
As we were pulling in dead slow. Manning the rails in Whites. There were dozens of little bangka boats in the water. As we part the way, all of these little packets started coming over the rails. We were thinking it was probably candy or girlie bar ads.
Weed, black tar, coke. Craziest week ever.
Thankfully, I think Darwin took that week off.
