As a former US Navy guy, I love it! As a photography guy, I love it, too!
 
Thank you. I was very fortunate to have a good vantage point for this. The carrier came in 48 hours earlier than planned so I didn't have all the gear I wanted. Unfortunately, it was a very grey morning so the pictures are not really what I wanted but that's how it was. I had 2 camera bodies but one had a light leak and the whole film was ruined. In order to maintain steerage the carrier was moving quite fast so very little time to think. A motor wind would have been handy.

I am itching for an excuse to get onboard!
