Surprised to see the rust under the holes below her deck in the bow. Kind of thought that was the stuff regular maintenance took care of.

Now you know why she was also refered to as the "Sh!tty Kitty" decades ago when I was station on her sister ship the USS Midway (CV-41).

I was in the MARDET 86-88. Capt D.W. Hoffman would have become completely unfreakin’ glued over those rust spots
