Like the bottom one, a bit like a WW1 silhouette.

THank you, there are two ships, a WWII destroyer and a big WWI armored warship at the back.

Overpowering. Nice one.

Thank you both! Yes, overpowering and wow are two adjectives that come to mind when standing directly in the path of a US aircraft carrier. I was overwhelmed at the magnificence of this once great ship.

I'm pretty sure one of these can overwhelm a small town with tourists- they hold around 6000 passengers.

They do, I live on Crete and when one of these things turn up the locals hide.

After nearly 40 years of service in the United States Navy, Kennedy was officially decommissioned on 1 August 2007. She is berthed at the NAVSEA Inactive Ships On-site Maintenance facility in Philadelphia and, until late 2017, was available for donation as a museum and memorial to a qualified organization. In late 2017, the Navy revoked her "donation hold" status and designated her for dismantling.
