There used to be a honey barge in the good old days but I suspect most modern warships have processing facilities or they would not be allowed in most port areas.
I used to commute along the seafront at Alverstoke in my second Naval Tour and again in my last RAF tour. I remember the first time.I saw a Nimitz class flat top moored in the Solent. “Big” does not cut it. It was almost like someone had built the IoW bridge overnight. The magic never grew old. I did wangle a tour on board the USS California while it was moored there. I seem to recall the hangar deck not only had ac parked in it but there were more hung from the deck head, but that may be a trick of memory.
