Fishing San Pablo Bay years ago, bear the San Raphael Bridge, the CG had me
move as an ammunition ship was departing from the weapons station. There
was a Chinook landing on the back of the ship. Huge twin rotor copter.
Looked like there was about 2 foot clearance at most for the rotors. Calm
sea and still was impressive.
