Finally, you get to see some of what I have to do on a regular basis.
First up, a picture of the Midway.
West Coast/Third Fleet Represent! Nick is on the left, Eric is on the right. Pic is inside the Ship's OPS Office.
A CT working? What's up with that?
Can any HAB member guess which fine vessel this is?
BonHomme Richard
Can anyone help identify this antenna? (Don't help them, Tysroc)
Lonestar's Leading Petty Officer finding out he has to get sprayed in the face with pepper spray at 0600 the next morning.
Lonestar's LPO: "Fucking CTs....."
"Nowhere will you find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Especially as the Captain called us out by name on how 'not to act on liberty'."
Easy E, the Minister of Mack says " Gimmie a Beer."
Lonestar's humble adobe.
"You're a geek. Now let me the Goddamn House!"
WW2 Memorial
Where's Lonestar?
Lonestar's Grandpa.

Wew! That's it for now! Stay tuned for more....

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
Didn't Shep have a pic thread in the OT awhile back?

Looks like a carrier getting it's island fumagated.

Howedar is no longer here. Need to talk to him? Talk to Pick.
It's getting sprayed for potato bugs.
Seriously, it's very dilaphedated.(sic), and the identity of the ship may surprise you. Obviously, it is/was based in San Diego currently/in the recent past.

Not the Reagan right? It's still on it's way, I think. Though that would be a shocker.Lonestar wrote:It's getting sprayed for potato bugs.

I'd say the JFK but that was in Mayport last I checked. Oh well. *shrug*

Looks more like Constellation to me. The mast is too complicated for JFK, at least to my eye.

Well, looking closer I can be pretty sure it ain't the Ronnie, because I don't think she has the tower thingy behind the island like that. Actually, is that unique to just the Nimitz class ships, or do the CVs have them too?
If it's a Nimitz CVN I would be really shocked.

The mast is definately not right for a Nimitz.
I'm going to say with some degree of certainty that it's Constellation. Kitty Hawk isn't in port right now I don't think (though it's a possibility), Midway's (and her sister's) mast is very different, Ranger and co. are likewise quite different. JFK is the only other ship that seems possible to me, but the mast looks wrong on her as well.

Perhaps the Nimitz herself then? It's PACFLT at least. And take a gander at the mast.Howedar wrote:The mast is definately not right for a Nimitz.

For that matter, she's currently listed as in Maintenance at Global Security and isn't underway according to the Navy.
Anyway, just my guess, but the mast looks different on the Nimitz than it does on the Vinson.

Yes, you're right. It's Nimitz.
The picture of her I dug up earlier is pretty old, the mast is quite different. But this one matches exactly, also notice how the little white ball on the port edge of the deck matches up well.

This saddens me. I like the Nimitz and I'd love to serve on her. But then, she joined the fleet in what, '79? It doesn't surprise me that she's showing her age a bit now (twenty five years now, where has the time gone?).

How is it sad? What's sad is when you see a Russian vessel rusting away without maintenance.

No, I think "victory" at that image. Then remind myself it's not the 80s.Howedar wrote:How is it sad? What's sad is when you see a Russian vessel rusting away without maintenance.
Anyway, Lonestar's "dilapidated" comment is what saddened me, not so much it having to get fumigated (eh, shit happens).

I always heard that the Japanese really helped take good care of it.
The Coral Sea (also of the same class) was a real piece of shit that listed to one side when it was decommed years before the Midway, even though the Midway was older.
