Not sure who the sailor was that took these pictures, but he's pretty good at it.

What I think is funny is that the Vella Gulf is part of the CVN 73 George Washington battle fleet. They took all sort of pictures of the Charles De Gaulle (R91) carrier and I've seen few of the GW. What few I have are long shots.

I know my son was really impressed with the HMS Illustrious when we saw it berthed in Norfolk on July 14th. I was so po'ed, I forgot my darn camera!  >:(

He said he didn't think she'd be there on the 15th as here stacks were smoking and she looked to be getting ready to pull out. When I returned on the 15th, sure as heck, it was gone..... .....
