	In 1971 a handful of sailors from the ''USS Coral Sea'', an aircraft carrier based at the Alameda Naval Air Station, showed up at the ''Leviathan'' office at 968 Valencia Street, which also served as a maildrop for ''The Bulkhead''. The Navy’s carrier strike force, including ships that sailed from San Diego and Alameda to their duty station in the South China Sea, was subjecting tiny Vietnam to an aerial bombardment more intense than the bombing of Europe during World War II. Ultimately, a million citizens, many of them the victims of aerial bombardment, would die in Vietnam and neighboring Cambodia and Laos. The sailors had read ''The Bulkhead,'' specifically stories about about anti-war organizing on aircraft carriers. They were ready for action and were particularly interested in meeting David Harris, the Stanford draft resister who was working with civilians and anti-war sailors on the carrier Constellation, which was homeported in San Diego.

	We were pleased, but not surprised that these sailors had tracked us down. On any given night, people from ''The Bulkhead'' collective and the Pacific Counseling Service (PCS) could be found at the San Francisco Airport or on Market Street where GIs drifted between the seedy bars in the Tenderloin, including one called The Coral Sea, and the United Service Organization’s drop-in center nearby on Market St.		We were pleased, but not surprised that these sailors had tracked us down.

	We were handing out ''Bulkheads'' and information about the legal support offered by the PCS to GIs. Invariably the GIs were friendly and receptive. The ''Coral Sea'' sailors were a colorful lot, veritable hippies in uniform. (As a concession to growing dissension among sailors, Admiral Elmo Zumwalt, who became Chief of Naval Operations in 1970, issued his famous “Z grams,” permitting sailors to wear beards, mustaches, sideburns, and longish hair as long as they were well-groomed.) The ''Coral Sea'' brothers considered themselves freaks and were more than eager not only to investigate ways to oppose the war, but also ways to sample the offerings of countercultural hedonism. In time some of them would join the network of interlocking political households that was spreading beyond Bernal Heights.
