The yanks are coming....the Yanks are coming..
 
Looks like the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and at least some of her escort group will be visiting Halifax at the end of the month.
It's been a while since a Nimitz class carrier came here...I think the last might have been the John C Stennis. Guess we'd better beef up the Shore Patrol.

Lock up the women and hand out condoms to all the guys awaiting those
sailors... :)

I think you will be visited by the Tall Ships group in July also.
They are in Boston, MA this weekend.

So you are implying that there is a huge gay population in Halifax
awaiting the arrival of an aircraft carrier hoping that a large majority
of the crew is gay and looking for a one-nighter with a Canadian?

The Tattoo performers usually put on a nice parade outside, I suppose to boost interest in the indoor show.
I liked the show when it was almost all military. We'd even get your Marine Drill Team and assorted bands. I do see your fleet band will play at this years show. Nowadays there seems to be a bit too much civilian talent on display. Our government cut back our military contribution quite a while back.

Are today's US sailors a bit more refined than back in Justine's days of wavy navy?

Lock up your daughters.


I guess the local women are looking for real men. Local men don't make the
grade?
