Anyone recall seeing any really unusual things during their time at sea, in the air, in the sea, on land... ghosts, ufos? I remember one night when the 'Hawk sailed through some type of glowing organisms. It was as if the 'Hawk was the hub of a huge wheel with glowing spokes radiating out from her. It was both amazing and beautiful. The spokes seemed to stretch to the horizon and were very bright. I also remember standing on the forward port sponson during a smoke break and seeing the largest shark I've ever seen. It had to be at least 25 feet long. It was near the surface, and we passed right beside it. I thought to myself, "Boy, I'm glad I'm up here" Let's hear some of your "amazing" memories

The glow that you saw in the ship's wake was called, "bioluminescence" caused by small plankton-like creatures that emit light in the same way that a firefly does.
