USNS Zeus

Launched in 1982, the USNS Zeus is the first and only cable-laying ship in the US Navy. Her primary mission is to support an underwater sound surveillance system along with various subsurface geophysical surveys in the Atlantic.
Although a military ship, she is unarmed, carries a mostly civilian crew, and has no home port. She’s shown here on the York River near the confluence of King Creek (foreground) at the Yorktown Naval Weapons Station.

Looks like NYFC is gonna get it deep and wide. lol
There’s lots about the Navy that I have never understood, but not having a home port puzzles me. Surely* the crew will have families. Where do they live?
