Hong Kong - USS Chafee DDG-90

Another "reactivated" archive shot from 2008.

 

DDG-90 USS Chafee moored in the roads of Hong Kong port. An escort belonging to the Nimitz carrier battle group on visit - again the carrier itself was too far away and it it was bloody foggy - no shot of the carrier on that day.
