Very cool. I've been on a museum Battleship, but I want to visit an Aircraft Carrier as well. So massive! The closest Museum Carrier to me right now is San Diego.

When you get a chance, come and visit us in New York City. We have the USS Intrepid off the west side highway. She is a beauty

Cleveland has a WWII submarine museum, the USS Cod.
Lovely exposure Jef....I like it.
Thanks man.
Made a westpac cruise on it in 1963 as part of the air group. Great ship. Made many night landings. Never got a chance to revisit. As I remember the laundry had a machine that would take buttons off your shirt and shoot them through your socks, or so the rumor said. In Hong Kong, Dirty Mary would arrange to paint the hull for the trash. Her crew worked from small sampans. And got it done during our short visit. Those were the days.
This capture brings back memories. I served on the USS Forrestal CVA-59 1967-1970, AIMD and E-Div.
Great shot.
Thanks
