MY FAVORITE US NAVY PICS OF 2008

Enjoy!

[Jeff Head]

I will be posting pictures each year. Pay attention to the BONUS pics of the Littoral Combat Craft (LCS) and the pic of the railgun test.

BTTT

Great pictures. I never thought I see a photo of Ronald Wilson Reagan leaning to the left (port).

[AFreeBird]

I like the one on your site of the Regan in a high speed, tight left turn.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I am not one of the spelling Nazis. But check the link under the pics.

[eyedigress]

ping!

[tommyboy]

Excellent. Thank you.

[GOP_Party_Animal]

I like the railgun pic. Can't wait to see that weapon on the refitted IOWA.

[Jeff Head]

Saw that after posting it and kicked myself. Sometimes it’s eay to miss the imbedded titles in the html code.

[Jeff Head]

The railgun and eventually, directed energy weapons for CIWS are going to revolutionize naval combat.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I am a pro at catching my mistakes right as I hit POST

[Conspiracy Guy]

Great Pictures.

[Jeff Head]

The Reagan is leaning into the left...hehehe, as in taking them on!

[Jeff Head]

LOL! I hope to catch up with you some day and see them as I post...I seem to catch all mine well after the fact.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks!

I like the one on your site of the Regan in a high speed, tight left turn.

It's a great picture indeed, I read somewhere it was taken during sea trials.

BTW, it is a hard RIGHT turn, more appropriate for the Ronald Reagan. The severe angle of the deck washes out the spineless moderates over to the left, where they belong ;-)

A favorite of mine, with sentimental value:

A very close friend of mine who recently passed away at the young age of 40 years old, served on the Alabama.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Just what I was going to say to the left leaner’s! LOL

[tpanther]

Navy is always tops with these ships....waiting for
new carrier named after Bush ‘41....anyone know if it
will be launched this year????? JK

[Gaffer]

If you want a cool picture, Google “Missouri Battleship Firing”....coolest picture ever!!!!!!

[Gaffer]

Is it gonna say underneath the designation, “Read My Lips?”

[SoCalPol]

[iMacMan]

AWESOME photos! Bless our sailors everywhere!

[GVnana]

Here's some pics from today's christening of the USS New York:

[blackie]

There are 11,100 listings for “Missouri Battleship Firing”. This one isn't too bad:

[sanjacjake]

I sure hope so. When you make POTUS....you are marked for
any and all things you say or do....ask Clinton about his
desire for lips????????????? JK

[blackie]

You meant this one?

[Slip18]

This is just so cool, Jeff. Thank you!

[Mr. Lucky]

Stealth can be a great asset for some warships. However, for the Iowa’s, being big, visible and right off the coast had a certain psychological value.

[the irate magistrate]

Nice pictures Jeff.

As always, it’s good to hear from you.

[Vinnie]

I like the railgun pic. Can't wait to see that weapon on the refitted IOWA.

For real or wishful thinking?

History Channel "Battle 360".
The story of the USS Enterprise during WWII. First episode was Fri. night, next Fri. the battle of Midway.

The founder of Enterprise Rent-a-Car was a pilot on the Enterprise and named his Co. after the ship. He is sponsoring the program.

[Nasher]

Jeff, thanks for sharing these great photos!

My favorite site for great aviation photos (commercial and military) is Airliners.net

Example - Quick look at their listing of U.S. Naval aircraft using their photo search engine: Over 9,000 U.S. Naval Aicraft and counting

[NoLibZone]

What does this flag mean?

[neodad]

The signal flag is “Hotel”, which indicates a pilot is onboard.

[Gene Eric]

The Seawolf picture is awesome especially with the U.S. Flags against the backdrop.

[ItsForTheChildren]

My favorite US Navy picture I just took this past Christmas - of my nephew, a new US Navy SEAL. :-)

[Conspiracy Guy]

I’m a USAF Vet, but I love ships. As long as I don’t have to spend months on them.

You’ve always done a good job on FR and I really do appreciate your hard work.

Thank you Mr. Head.
