A pic my dad sent.

The B2 caught my eye, and you rarely see 3 carriers in a single battle group.

awesome pic hb. any ideas what the carriers are?

A battlegroup generally consists of one carrier, this must be a celebration of somekind, especially with the B2 in the pic......fun pic anyway. Safest place in a war, on a Carrier.

I don't know where my father got the picture, but he was in the Navy, retired as a captian, and his old navy buddies are always sending him pics. I will see if I can find out what carriers these are, and find out what the occassion was, that had three battle groups in the same place.

Your father was a Captain....Brown shoe or black shoe Navy.....

That is impressive to rise to that rank.

I know where he got that pic. I have it saved on my puter. Its one of my screensaver photos.

That's THREE battle groups.

Carriers and escorts.

Never been stationed on a carrier. I prefer the escort ships.

Impressive, but it's not the same without the F-14's

It is a bit more "formal" on the Carrier due to Admiral being on board........

That pic was featured in the base newspaper at Hickam AFB. The caption read that it was the pic was taken to kick off the RIMPAC excercise in Guam. A very cool pic and hopefully a courteous "don't F...! with us" to those who doubt our ability to mass such a huge amount of force in a little time.

Those ain't no Nina, Pinta And Santa Maria...

Probably... Vinson, Lincoln, and Stennis???

Right?

PT 🙂

I can make a lot of guesses, but without numbers showing that's all they'd be. Guesses. They're all the same class, probably Nimitz. Being involved in RIMPAC narrows it down some too.

W~O~W ! ! !

That be my new PC background

See post #10 for the enlargement (aka website)

That is the Lincoln, Kitty Hawk, and the Reagan.

Sweet pic! I am surprisd that adroomi hasn't declared this thread a "horrible, hostile, imperialist show of force by the crusaders to attempt to intimidate those who are good in the world"

He must not have seen the thread yet!

wow cool picture here esp. the link in post #10

This is LINCOLN, KITTY HAWK and RONALD REAGAN, taken in June 2006 as the PHOTOEX for Exercise Valiant Shield 2006. 28 vessels and 300 aircraft participated. It was off the coast of Guam.
