Sep 18,2011 at 12:00 PM EST

MAYPORT, Fla. --  It was the vision families have waited six months for-- the USS Boone making its way into Mayport.

    

Sailors made their way from the ship and were welcomed with hugs and kisses from a waiting crowd of American flags and "welcome home"...more signs.

"Came off the ship, seeing my family for the first time....It's a feeling I can't describe," said sailor Darrell Dedeaux.

After more than 180 days away from home, Dedeaux couldn't wait to see his wife and three kids.

"When he left, the baby wasn't even walking, barely talking.  Now he's walking and doing everything," said his wife Tanya Dedeaux.

For some sailors, it's the first in-person encounter with a new addition to the family.  Christopher Giannini is holding his daughter, born in April, for the first time.

"It's great.  Probably one of the better feelings I've ever had, besides my other three kids," said Giannini.
