Ping!

What a blast!

I did sea trial onboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and USS George Washington (CVN-73). Nothing beats that first night at sea and the high power runs the shipyard has to make to demonstrate what the hull can do.

people would be amazed at how fast one of these ships can move when it wants to...

You can say that again. I served aboard the USS Enterprise CVAN-65 during the Veitnam War as part of the Air Wing VF-96 and coming back to San Francisco we would race the other ships and guess which one was the fastest. Yep, the Enterprise.

SONOBUOY PING!

Click on pic for past Navair pings.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

Yep! When I was onboard USS Eisenhower, our task force was relieved at Be-No Station off of Beirut three days before Kitty Hawk relieved us, and we still beat out escorts to Gibraltar!

Thanks Magslinger!

It would've been great if GHWB sailed with the crew on the shakedown.

How do you spell *T*A*R*G*E*T* ??

I read someplace - probably FR- that the JC is the only ship in the Navy referred to by it’s number rather than a nickname.

[concretebob]

I indirectly had a part in this.
I'm a welding inspector and work at NGNN on occasion.

[RedMDer]

Great Ship. Great man.

I wonder how long it will take for CVN-77 George H.W. Bush to be known simply as “the W”.
