WOW they have mutiplie starlinks onboard
I liked doing that on my ship too but most of the time I liked protecting the crew with a BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) from sharks.We would have swim call on the ship I served on but we didn't have anything like the sub fin to dive off of. Sure looks like FUN.

Is it me or do the planes aboard not look as sexy as the F/A-18 and equivalent that used to be on carriers? But they do fit quite a few more nowadays. I'm guessing they just catapult them at their targets.USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) on her way to to San Diego, California after overhaul at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Washington - January 1983.
