Re: Today's US Navy Hi-res Photos!

Tks for the latest photos popeye. "UP THE NAVY" that was our cry when I was serving in the Navy as a mobilised Naval Reserve Officer. Yes, "UP THE USN" now and for the future. Our sea lanes are safe as of now. Hope there will not be any real major defence cuts by the Obama Administration.
