I honestly don't understand why all the planes are on the deck in the hot sun. For "Show"? I think they should be below deck. I'm sure the russians and chi-coms love this picture. No one would DARE put nucs inside ordinary cargo containers, load those onto container ships headed for the half dozen or so major commercial ports next door to our major navel bases and detonate simultaneously as the container ships entered the ports… would they? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a TERRIBLE idea to park two carriers in such proximity. What is that- 20% of our fleet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tree just kept him from crashing upside down. I believe he was already crashing before the camera picked him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he was already crashing before the camera picked him up. Looks like he started a stall spin....
