His fire and intensity is like no other, his passion for the game, his loyalty to the team that drafted him, and the fact that he owns any batter that steps up to the plate.
Also, this is an added bonus.

The best thing for someone who's never been on one would be watching the take offs and landings, but that grows old quickly after you've been on the ship for so long, and then quickly becomes annoying with the noise.
The best thing as compared to other ships in the Navy, is definitely the space and size of the ship. You don't really notice too much that you're out to sea on a ship that big.
Plus famous people come on board them more often. I saw a makeshift Blink 182 concert in the hangar bay during my first deployment.

(I guess that can fit under RDR's question as well.)
Also, Conan O'Brien came on the ship.
The worst thing is being stuck in the middle of the ocean for weeks/months on end and seeing nothing but silver everywhere.

I definitely agree.
He paints the best picture of the game, knows what he's talking about, knows how to carry a conversation to cover the otherwise dead time. (It's amazing the difference you see/hear in Mark Grant when he's broadcasting with Matt as compared to when he's with Steve Quis) and he's multi-talented, broadcasting for pretty much any sport out there.
I'm happily surprised he's still the Padres announcer.
