No, he's stationed on the USS Vella Gulf CG-72. That picture from the USS John C. Stennis was taken by Mc2 Heidi Giacalone. The Stennis's home port is San Diego, I think. His home port is Norfolk, Virginia. His ship is in the same area as the Stennis and he took this picture-

Cool shots from the Vella Gulf... are the numbers painted on those loads (in pic #3) the weights of the loads?

On the numbers, I have no idea? Could be weights, or could be manifest numbers? It would make sense if they were weights, I know they need t balance the load on ships. So I guess that would be a reasonable assumption.

Yes it does!  ;D

Some of the worst weather I've ever been has been at sea....can you say white water over the bow of a carrier?  ;D  Also some of the most beautiful....the nights, OMG...the night sky in the middle of the Pacific on a calm night.  More stars than you have ever seen...

And yes those are the weights of the pallets on those UNREP shots....and Stennis is homeported in Bremerton, WA.  ;)
