OSCAR AUSTIN's RHIB (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat) helps bring fuel to a stranded Italian fishing boat

The fishermen gave us a fish as a "Thank You" gift

Returning from deployment...passing a submarine on the way in

Families and friends gathering at the quay wall

An excited mob gathers at the gate to the pier waiting for the guards to open it up

"First Kiss" sailor departs the ship. A raffle is held on board and the winner gets to leave the ship first to give his/her loved one the first kiss

All the new dads get to leave the ship next...teddy bears and seabags in-hand

Liberty Call! ... I'm in the bottom-right corner of the picture with my back to the camera, a seabag over my shoulder and Makaya latched on my neck
