Actully I think every US Navy ship, overseas US Base, and Embassy has
a US based postal address. They use the 'state' codes of AA, AE, and
AP. AA is for the Americas, AE is for Europe and Africa, and AP is
for Pacific (Asia and Oceana).
When I was over in Saudi Arabia my mother worked for the US Army and
one of the benifits was having a Army Mailing Address. People in the
US could sent mail to
Persons Name
PO Box xxx
APO, AP 98yyy
and the mail would magically come to my mothers office in Riyadh. APO
is for Army Post Office (The navy uses FPO - Floating Post Office),
xxx would be for the building my mother worked for and yyy was for
Saudi Arabia.

PS Another benifit my mother got was a pork ration (Saudi Arabia
being an islamic country does not have pork for sale). So my mother
literaly brought home the bacon. :)
