Rough seas stranded 123 tourists aboard the aircraft carrier Saratoga, where they spent the night watching “Top Gun” with the crew and playing basketball on the hangar deck before being flown to shore on helicopters Sunday.

The visitors had traveled to the ship in shuttle boats Saturday for a tour of the vessel, anchored 4 1/2 miles off Miami, but were stranded by 23-m.p.h. winds.
