Parabat Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Fantastic shots all, really like the pics of the Bataan, subs and the Abraham Lincoln. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Nice phots. They bring back memories when I was on USS Harry S Truman based there in 2012. USS San Jacinto collided with the Montpelier during an exercise we were on at the time. Haven't seen the Comfort since '91. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Parabat. Pleased you liked the pictures. Every morning when I opened the curtains in my hotel room, I was greeted with the sight of the Bataan! 34 minutes ago, Darby said: Nice phots.

Haven't seen the Comfort since '91. I'm happy to have brought back (hopefully) good memories. It must have been amazing to have served on one of the super-carriers. 12 minutes ago, Paul J said: Lovely photos. Sub odd looking vessels too! Thanks Paul. Some odd-looking vessels, with some odd-sounding names! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latinbear Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Brilliant photos! That looks like $26 and two hours very well spent! A lot of tins of Humbrol Sea Grey will needed on some of those ships. Thanks for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
