Norfolk is the base of US Naval operations on the Atlantic coast. It is the staging area for all ship deployments on the Atlantic. That means that all naval ships sent to Iraq, etc… come from Norfolk. We here are immersed in navy ships. Our humble vessel plods along slowly and traces a path of least interference through the unending wharfs and piers covered with warships.
