:roll: Milk was a bad choice.









Cool pictures. Thanks Em! :rockwoot:
 
Nice. I went to a motorcycle safety foundation instructors course years ago in Delaware (near Philadelphia). I decided to go see some ships.

Like a lot of things (i.e. top fuel and funny cars), I had less appreciation for how badass they are watching them on TV. When I seen the ships up close, I was like ... Holy shit!

Thats FDNY. You know how they are with their hoses :lol: Its just to signal the beginning and end of the procession.

I'm going to try and get a tour of one this weekend. The news promised demonstrations of "amphibious attacks"...which sound sooo much more exciting than shopping with friends :rolleyes:

:lol: Yes I could've done with your help this afternoon actually.
 
Carriers are a sight to be seen. We used to tie up to them to onload/offload wepons. My boat was just over 200 feet and felt like is was a rowboat. IF anyone ever gets the chance to hit up the tour ship/boat it is a great experience. Groton, Ct and Chicago has the Sub's. Panama city, Fl has a carrer that from time to time alows people to go for a ride.
