A merchant vessel tried to pass behind the USS ASHLAND (LSD- 48), a totally stupid idea. The CPA (Closest Point of Approach) was 50 yards, and ASHLAND had to speed up and come hard left to avoid a collision!
Just some crazy chap.

Great photos here!
Some photos of B-52s...
showing all the bombs it can hold
dropping bombs over some unlucky area [does this look computerised?
]
in flight, showing its span
I dunno what it is, but seeing photos like these of the B52 have always given me the shivers... They're just so amazingly big! It's crazy!0 -

Here's one I'm particularly fond of (I think it's a Missouri class cutting loose with a full broadside)-
Apparently, all this lovely brass gets 'float tested' later

And a couple of funnies-
The transition from horses was a little difficult for some-
I always get a giggle from this one

I'll just provide a link to this last one as it's pretty big (950kb animated gif), but it shows what would have happened if hackers had gotten into the opening scenes of Saving Private Ryan-

that is a pic of a B-52 carpet bombing Afghanistan. I know that because it is the exact shot I used in a project in History in Transition Year in 2001/2002DaveMcG wrote:
