...sailed on the Missouri as a seaman first class in 1946 when she carried the body of the wartime Turkish Ambassador to the U.S. back to Istanbul to be buried. Since then he's seen ports of call from Australia to Italy and been tattooed by the best in Norfolk, Va., Hong Kong, Yokohama and Pearl Harbor.
