Makes me prouder than ever to be a veteran of the United States Navy. Thanks for posting this Bruce.

That F/A-37 looks like something straight out of Star Wars.

Gets my vote for "The Best Post Yet ".....Thanks Bruce !

I like the vapor on the deck in particular.

When I see stuff like this I wonder why anyone wants to mess with the USA and think they will come out ok?

I was Army but son was Navy. He was on the USS Nassau and did a trip to Desert Storm. Makes me proud too.

a bit of pee for the pool.

It was a 2005 movie, "Stealth" and the female pilot is Jessica Biel.

The Kitty Hawk has been retired since 2009. the Enterprise was decommissioned a few years ago and at this point there are 10 active carriers, all nuclear powered, with the 11th, the Ford and 12th, Kennedy under construction. The Ford class is supposed to be the next generation carrier with electro-magnetic catapults and other improvements over the Nimitz class.

Before I even got that low in the postings, I said "Damn Jessica Biel look good!"
