W/NW Boats and Ships

Connie005a by Joe Van Cleave, on Flickr

Taken from USS Constellation CV64, Arabian Sea, 1980. UNREP (underway replenishment) with USS Dwight D. Eisenhower CV69. The Connie was finishing a 110 day at-sea stint. Here a helicopter is transferring spare jet engines from the supply ship. Weapons, stores and spare parts were transferred by helo during UNREP.

Haze gray and underway!

Wow, the Ike looks brand new here. At the same time you shot this, I was in The Med on CV67.
 
Does this qualify as a "boat"?

A place that not many will travel to, Kwajalein Atoll. Photo was taken from above the bridge of the NOAA ship Discoverer. Kwajalein is the down range end of the US missile test program and security was very tight. We had lost a vital piece of equipment when a cable broke and replacement was being shipped out. We had three days and could only be off the ship during daylight hours.
