I recently got some officially released US Navy photos.

The first is our younger son John manning the rail as the USS Harry S
Truman got underway from Norfolk Oct 13th for a six month deployment.

John is a newlywed and his bride was one of the hundreds on the pier
seeing the ship off. (Note the shiny new wedding band)

I think the picture says it all.

The second is an impressive shot of the Carrier in transit.

The pics may be viewed at: http://tinyurl.com/4uujj

The one of your DIL isn't there.

Great shots though.

I wonder if anybody has ever tried to surf the bow wave? :)

With four honkin', nuclear powered, 20 something foot diameter props
churning a 1000 feet behind you, I wouldn't go anywhere near that thing.

BTW, I found the heater. I'll package it up and get it off to you this week.

We had a carrier visit Galveston Bay years ago and I couldn't believe
how much it disturbed the water a couple of hundred yards ahead of it.
It was a rough ride for quite awhile after I had passed it (and it was
going pretty slow).
