Tiger cruise
A tiger cruise is an American naval voyage that allows civilians to accompany a sea-going United States Navy vessel.[1] The voyage allows friends and family of deployed sailors and Marines to spend time aboard a sea-going vessel to learn about the ship's day-to-day operations.[2] Civilians are sponsored by a Navy sailor or marine, who accompanies them on the cruise.[3]
In popular culture
The 2004 film Tiger Cruise is set aboard USS Constellation during the tiger cruise at the ending of her deployment in September 2001. The story tells of the events aboard the ship before, during, and after the September 11 attacks. Constellation actually was underway to Naval Air Station North Island with a number of tigers on board that day. The carrier had already been decommissioned when the movie was filmed; USS John C. Stennis, and USS Nimitz were used as stand-ins.[4][5]
