During fast cruise the crew will operate as if they are underway, carrying out daily operations and conducting shipboard drills. This allows leaders to assess the crew’s level of preparedness and test shipboard systems in a controlled environment.

Fast cruise suck.. period. because you are either tied to the pier or anchored out. No liberty. yeesh.

On America in '81 we had a fast cruise for three days..a very long three days. We were anchored out in Hampton Roads.
