Aboard on the most powerful Aircraft Carrier

Just want to share some photos...

Most powerful, I doubt that, no mare than the reagan or any other CVN carrier.


either way noce shots, I'm on the reagan and have yet to take my camera on board to take pics.

I will not argue that one

You guys are lucky on the Regan.. pretty short deployments you guys have... not like us

yeh no 8 monthers yet, cross my finger for this next one to be short too.

I always wonder what hoops you guys have to go through to firstly get your cameras on board and secondly clear what pics you can & cant post???

Number one is my fave, but i kinda have a "thing" for that awesome flag.

And thanks to both of you for your dedication to keeping this country what it is, free.

I wonder the same thing!

Also: can you have a personal computer with satellite internet or are you restricted to use the ships computers?

Anything on board (exterior wise) are allowed to take pictures of... there are certain area that is what you called "Top Secret". A month before we end our deployment there are what we called "Tiger Cruise" its a group of civilian people/family that they can come on board and to experience what is the life on a Naval Carrier like... so most of them have cameras! LoL!

we can bring personal computer/laptops but we cant connect it to the ships satellite... we have the Navy's computer that we have to use to check emails and stuff! and yeah we are restricted to use the ships computer internet wise.

Ahh the Lincoln , our son did two tours on the USS Truman CVN-75 . More powerful than a locomotive able to leap buildings in a single bound Nice to be out west though.

Oh man you cracked me up have you gotten any chances to be on board?

Yes we have been on the Truman twice with personal tours throughout the boat was very impressive I must say. I want to do a Tiger Cruise but it hasn't happened yet. Our son was with the Pukin Dogs VFA-143 he is an AT. Dunno when his next sea duty is, maybe next year or so.

your son work with hornets, I used to work on those platform also then I shifted to helo's just because I wanted to go San Diego. so you also have some photos of the truman... care to share it to us? is your son doing shore duty as of now? well if he's going back to sea duty definitely he'll be on deployment and of course that they are gonna have Tiger Cruise! in an experience to be on board for 2 weeks! you'll be proud of your son on how hard life is on a ship.

I was at Oceana/Norfolk in June visiting my brother in law. The "Pukin Dogs" was my oldest son's favorite squadron. The Truman was in port also. These ships are truly impressive.
