Was the guy in the middle taller when they started practicing?

Finally, keeping a nautical theme and included only because I had a co-worker who would head over there to dive every few years, a light tank out of its element in Truk lagoon.

I always wanted to go dive Truk lagoon.... supposed to be incredible.

USS Constellation and USS Kitty Hawk. Fun fact, the “k” in hawk on the Kitty Hawks fantail is upside down. During the final inspection by the first Skipper for delivery to the navy he pointed it out and when shipyard bigwigs heard they ordered it cut off and rotated. The captain liked at and asked they keep it upside down. To this day it’s never been corrected.

The Connie was my home for four years. Sad that she is no longer. Great pic!

Yep...and he didn't have boobs at the start either.

I didn't look that closely, I just noticed what looked like 5:00 shadow.

I worked on both, unfortunately after they were decommissioned.

Did you work on anything that's still operational ?

LOL, funny guy.

Washington, Nimitz, Vinson, Lincoln, Stennis and Reagan to name a few, and those are just the Aircraft Carriers. I'd be here awhile naming the subs.

Worked 10 months on that ship in 2003, and a few months later it was decided it was a lost cause.

Coincidence? I think not.

Next, a random shipwreck somewhere in Portugal.

Looks like Easy Rider worked on that one too.

 

[Vaquero]

Heh

You can blame the Navy for that. Letting it sit as a training ship for 10 years in Mayport without repairs, it was a mess. The only reason the Navy hadn't decommissioned it sooner and scrapped it was the Kennedy's.

Lots of pictures of Naval ships.

Must have missed the one of the Battleship Texas...

What age do you think I am? Moonpie's?

 

[Younggun]

Moonpie was probably steering when it got stuck in the mud.
