The USS Carl Vinson at the Gate

I forgot to post this around the time of Fleetweek. The airplane photos took all of my attention at the time. It's not every day that you get to photograph a Nimitz class carrier coming in to port at San Francisco, and so I had gotten up extra early on this day to catch the event. Though the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) is so large that she needs to wait till the tide is low to be able to clear the deck of the Golden Gate Bridge, she is still dwarfed by the iconic red structure all the same.

 

In the original size (1680 x 1050) you can clearly see the servicemen standing on the flight deck of the carrier.
