The USS Ashland arrived today at White Beach Naval Facility, five days after it picked up the women and their two dogs from their storm-damaged sailboat, 900 miles southeast of Japan.
Jennifer Appel and Tasha Fuiava had left Honolulu on May 3 for what was supposed to be an 18-day trip to Tahiti.
Upon the ship's arrival, the women could be seen standing on the bridgeway with the commanding officer and others about six stories high at the top of the ship.
