MAYDAY, MAYDAY!

"Hey sailor, you lookin' for a good time?"

During the Aceh relief operations in January and February, the American aircraft carrier hosted many civilian aid workers on board. Most of the flight operations were with helicopters, leaving a lot of the flight deck free for other activities, like sunbathing for the civilian aid workers and off-duty sailors. But the captain soon had to ban such activities on the flight deck, as the nearly naked female sunbathers were providing a dangerous distraction to incoming pilots, and the ground crews moving around on deck. The sunbathers were banished to other parts of the ship that were less visible to incoming aircraft.

Places less visable...like the Captain's Quarters. Good thing this didn't occur on the CVN Charles De Gaulle, as I assume bunch of hairy guys in speedos wouldn't have the same effect on the ground crew.
