“US Marines hanging out” / USS Peleliu (LHA-5) in Hong Kong / SML.20130418.6D.01378

An off-duty US Marine hangs out with another marine named Hurst (as seen on his jacket) near some air duct (venting system?) on the USS Peleliu.

 

Nearly every single man who is sitting by these openings at the ship is using either a cell phone or a computer. Could it be that they have no coverage in international waters? Or perhaps they cannot really check personal messages until they are near navy ports like Hong Kong?

 

For some shots I could even see what they have on their computer monitors—mostly white screens—clearly reception is an issue everywhere you go, and for sure the freegovwifi in Hong Kong is unusable. Good luck—go get a 3G card next time you are in town!
