From whom we received the invitation to have tea aboard the TCG Yücetepe (formerly USS Orleck) I know not. But we were aboard the ship for a “Ship’s Ahoy” afternoon tea event a few days before Yücetepe was due to begin its 39-day voyage from Tacoma, Washington to its new homeport in Gölcük, Turkey.
