USS Enterprise

Not too sure if this belongs here or in Historic πŸ™‚
Anyway, fore and aft flight deck shots of the Big E in Hong Kong harbour 1976
I’ve got quite a few closer shots taken on deck as well but they wouldn’t let me take a picture inside the Hawkeye ‘office’, well not much to see except a few cramped seats and big round screens.

Does anybody have any pics of the USS Enterprise in the current Lybia Operations???

Ha, ha… you know that 65 is puttering around the mouth of the Persian Gulf, along with Big Carl, while the 4 (sorry, now 3) USMC AV-8Bs from Kearsarge have to rely on the 8 Rafale operating from the Charles big-nose… with the almost-assistance of the 8 AV-8Bs from the Giuseppe no-fight*.

* apparently the Italian government has ordered them to fly patrols but to not conduct combat operations.
Berlusconi also said that Italian planes β€œare not firing and will not fire”

ooops, have to forgive a newbie – just seen that there’s a Naval section for stuff like this. Can a mod please move it to where it belongs?
