When I was on the USS Enterprise, CVA(N)65 there was shipwide cleanup or field day on Thursdays. Guess when we crossed the dateline....Thursdays so TWO days of cleanup! I have been to Tonga several times and stayed at the Dateline Hotel where they have a tile line right through the hotel denoting the dateline.
When on the USS Truxtun (CGN 35) we stopped at the dateline/equator and allowed a swim call and I jumped in. That helo deck on the stern sure looks a long ways up when you are treading water.
