I was not really comfortable taking this pic since i really had no "real" reason to be there! I had to drop some stuff off near the base, and my stickers were still good, so I drove around a bit looking.

Started looking for destroyers, then cycled through the other warship classes. The Mesa Verde is one of the newest amphibious transport docks in the San Antonio class.awesome! I reckon, had I thought much about it, I would have narrowed it down from Carrier, Battleship ect...good work. Bill

PhotosGuy Cream of the Crop, R.I.P. More info | Jul 16, 2008 08:55 | #7 Wikipedia. Started looking for destroyers, Thanks. I guess you need to know what you're looking for to start the search. That's usually my problem trying to ID birds! I may have had my Ap to high....trying not to blow out the sky. Ask yourself, "What's most important in the shot"? That's why I shoot RAW & generally use this: FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...
