MAYPORT: GREAT LIBERTY AND A NICE PLACE TO LIVE Where is Mayport, Florida? many crewm- embers are asl ed constantly about where FORRESTAL is homeported. It ' s easier to answer Jacksonville if one wants a geographic loca- tion. Mayport is a small fishing village that isn ' t on most Florida road maps. But as small as it is, it still is home to FORRESTAL and a formidable piece of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. With extensive underway schedules, it seems the crew doesn ' t get to see much of this Florida First Coast region. In fact, Mayport is referred to be FORRESTAL ' s favorite liberty port since some inport stays amount to the time spent in an average liberty port visit. Short stays or not, FORRESTAL sailors enjoy all the attractions Mayport Jacksonville has to offer. These activities include beach exploring; deep-sea fishing; watching a minor league baseball game; hitting local night clubs such as Hooters Bar and Grill; or taking a trip to nearby St. Augustine or Disney World. The best feature of Mayport is that it is home for hundreds of FORRESTAL families. Nearby Jackson- ville Naval Air Station and Cecil Field make this locale an ideal area for naval families. Follow-on duty stations at these installations allow departing shipmates a perfect place to continue military careers and reside. 16
