This ship, the US aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, appears to be undergoing sea trials some years back. This is an amazing photo, taken by somebody, that demonstrates the amazing resilience of what is supposed to be a steady, relatively level platform of force extension and sea power. Note the lack of aircraft on the deck. This is certainly a test of ability for a huge ship that is normally a floating airport.

Please send the link, my husband and I would love to see it.
Thanks very much, Dan.
Thanks Dan for the link to the paper toys site! I've printed off the "Queen's Crown", seeing as it's her 80th birthday today. And I didn't know the Navy tested in Lake Michigan. Wow. I know it's deep and the winds get strong enough to pluck people off docks and into the vast unknown. Happens every year.
I'm anxious to get out there for real. Maybe tomorrow!
Enjoy the weekend and accept only our best to you and yours,
