Here's something neat that most folks probably don't see much of.
Last September (golly, almost a year) I was in Norfolk, and got a quickie tour of the navy base there. It's headquarters of the US Atlantic Fleet, and is therefore one of the biggest naval ports in the world.
Just a handful of pics of ships at dock.
In this picture, the four ships from left to right are:
- San Antonio class amphibious transport dock,
- Arleigh Burke class destroyer,
- Wasp class amphibious assault ship,
- Austin class amphibious transport dock
USS Enterprise, aircraft carrier:
Here's that Wasp class amphibious assault ship, which you might mistake for an aircraft carrier if the more massive Enterprise wasn't right nearby:
Destroyers:
Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate:
Last but not least, the modern-looking San Antonio class amphibious transport dock:
