Didn't know where else to post this. I'm always struck by the awesomeness of aircraft carriers and couldn't help sharing this. It's safe to say that by the time you see one off your stern you will be passed in a few minutes. We just made it into the marina entrance. That at least saved the escort boats the trouble of a close pass inspection of us as it's difficult to maintain the 500 yard required clearance prior to marina entrance. That happened to us this past December when another carrier was outbound and we had just left the marina entrance. Probably didn't help that the admiral and I were wearing ski masks to help stay warm!
Here is where we were beating the "IKE"...NOT!
AWESOME!
