For one sailor participating in San Francisco's Fleet Week activities, this has been something of a homecoming.
"It means a lot for me personally," he told KPIX 5 as his ship was pulling into San Francisco Bay."My dad was in the Navy stationed in San Francisco, so it means a lot to be able to come back. Especially being with the Navy on a ship. My parents actually got married in San Francisco.""Just hearing the stories of my dad and his dad before him and just a lot of family that served in the military when they were stationed up here," Murphy continued.
Murphy says he sees a long career with the Navy and is proud to be following in his father's footsteps. But there's one special accomplishment he was able to do during our conversation. "I've always thought about it how cool it would be to pull under the Golden Gate Bridge on a Navy ship," he told KPIX."I wanted to pull in on a Navy ship. Just hearing the stories of my dad doing this and his dad before him. So being able to come to a place that's home in my work setting."
