I have taken a trip to Azores in the navy school ship Sagres. While she has engines, most of the time they use sails, in order to train sailors. They also offer trips to guests that can pay. I won a trip. Next, the lottery.

I when I got out of the USCG - I offered to reenlist for only one ship.

The Sagres sister ship - USCGC Eagle.

I knew a guy who had the radioman billet ( my rate) and he had told me about it. There is only 3 enlisted men on board - a handful of officers - and a crew of midshipmen. The enlisteds are defacto officers to the cadets. So you eat no shit.

The RM has the largest stateroom - bigger than the captain - because it's also the radioroom.

It's also a PR thing - so it makes some excellent ports.
