Entering Puget Sound:

The question is this, how far will a Chevy Volt fly off the catapult?

Should the area in front of the JBD be marked as handicapped just to show what would happen to a non stickered vehicle?

[Eye of Unk]

If I recall correctly the ship will be there for what, one or two years for a refit?

Makes sense to save money bringing the crews vehicles along in this manner, way to go Navy!

Hell of a drive off ramp even from off the elevators deck. Saves serious dough for sailors or the Navy,true.

Just think what it would cost if Congress made the decision.

SONOBUOY PING!

Click on pic for past Navair pings.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

The fun part about these kind of deployments is you can launch Chevy Volts off the bow Cats.

Supposed to be a year.

My ship, the Saratoga did this when we moved from Mayport FL to Phily back in 1981. I left my rust bucket of a car though back in FL.

In 1969 on our way back from Southeast asia the Hangar Deck was Stacked High with Motor Cycles purchased at our last stop in Japan,stereos and Every other Electronic devices purchased in Hong Kong.

Cool.

I don’t see any handicapped spaces in that pic. The Navy could be in big trouble if a trial lawyer sees this.

[central_va]

I didn’t see any marked with a pink triangle either.

I grew up in Bremerton and I remember seeing this site many times on different flat tops.

No doubt, officers cars BELOW, enlisted ON DECK..

First, the only other way to get vehicles owned by Navy sailors to their final destinations is to put them in another ship.

Hardigree overlooks the fact that the squids could drive their POVs to Washington themselves.

[A.A. Cunningham]

That's the Nimitz.
