A year after graduation, he boarded the amphibious ship Gunston Hall for a three-year tour at sea. Back on land, Williams attended the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, California, for two years before setting out again aboard the Whidbey Island, another dock landing ship, and the Nashville, an amphibious transport.
