Team Adam's Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I was going through an old back up hard drive of mine and came across this video I shot back in 2007. It was the last time I saw my ship before I flew home from Japan. As you can tell from the music I was very happy to be coming home and seeing the ship leave without me - but don't get me wrong, I LOVED serving in the Navy and would do it again if the Navy needed me back. <object width="660" height="525"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elySSjlhU2g&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elySSjlhU2g&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="660" height="525"></embed></object> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70'sChevyGirl Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 That is a very cool video. I have never been up close to a Navy ship. Does one person drive it at a time?? Are there airplanes on it?? How big is that ship?? Ok...I could keep asking questions but I will stop there for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jub jub Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Cool video. The 1812 Overture seemed very appropriate for the ship's departure! BTW, my dad was a 20 year Navy man. He told me to join the Air Force! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We carried a squadron of Harriers and a fleet of 4 different types of helicopters, 2 hover crafts, and 2,000 Marines. The ship is 840 feet long.
