sure, but don't tell so-called environmentalists :) (when looking for RIMPAC 2014 pictures I accidentally visited a webpage with derogatory statements about the US Navy etc. I left immediately but realized not everybody would enjoy the pictures the same way many SDF members do)

Great article.

Would be nice to be able to be there and take such a tour.

I am still waiting to see what date they end up in San Diego...but will probably wait until one of the PLAN carriers makes such a port call at a future date.

Thanks!

It would be nice to be able to actually go see all those ships firsthand in Hawaii, but Popular Science doesn't pay for travel and the day job schedule is always full.
