First of all, great to have seperate sub-forums!
And on the Big E, has she come home, or is she heading out?

She and her partner had been down to the shore and photographed the Big E for me!!

Nice pics !
My daughter lives in Gosport – and was telling me on the phone last night that there was ‘a big American carrier’ in the bay.
Naturally I was asking her what it was, but being a daughter, she hadn’t a clue – but promised to find out for me!!!
I have just emailed her with your pics – and told her to get with the program !!!
Seriously though, why does she (the Enterprise, not Alex) still have those catapult arrestors on the bow cats ???
I thought they were only used to launch a/c that didn’t have nosegear launching – such as the KA-3, A-4 etc.
Are there any non-nosegear launched a/c left in US Navy service ??
The Nimitz’s don’t have them anymore – do they ??
