Thanks very much for posting. Absolutely magnificent picture. Makes me so proud. The ChamorroBible.org is a fantastic source of US military imagery among all types of subjects.

Absolutely magnificent picture. Agree, although I wish they had done donuts around each other at 60mph, splashing that bathtub of a sea into the rags' faces while all ten thousand sailors screamed the rebel yell in unison at the top of their lungs. Now THAT would make a magnificent picture! :-)

"Where are the escorts?"
Prostitutes not allowed on deck - left them behind in port..........

I’d give a month of salary to water-ski off the back of the Enterprise. Come on Capt, bigger wake!

Because the sun is up and positioned off the top of the picture?
To: EnjoyingLife
Is it SOP for a carrier to be at a dead stop when not in port?
Seems it would be a lot more vulnerable than when moving.
Just curious...

Doesn’t the Navy have them assigned now? They are probably below deck earning their shift preferences & promotions.

Truth be known, I miss my days in the Navy. It was in better times than we see today and respect was given to the military by its government and its president.
