That was after they had closed Alameda and the Vinson was moved to Washington I think. Back in the day, there were strippers on the piers at fisherman's wharf put up by the strip clubs like big al's or the cinema and unlucky me, I worked as a doorman/bouncer down in soma dealing with crowds of drunken sailors, crazy days my friend, crazy. I remember a hornet or two going under the bay bridge, I'm not talking the carrier either.
Usually, when the ships I was stationed on pulled into port, the local strip clubs (and other adult venues in foreign ports) would send out a scantily clad "welcome party" on a yacht to let us know where to spend our money.
