It also gives the viewer a snap shot of the naval base and the structure of the ships and planes that make up the Strike Group -- which is kind of interesting. |||| If you think the album is missing something important, let me know and I will probably add it. |||| SOURCES: I have taken about half the photos in this album. The rest are readily available via a google search on the Internet, but NOT all in one place. Search by topic if you desire more information on any ONE subject.
