I've never quite figured out why ships use the straights.
Weather?

The Drake Passage off Cape Horn is often the roughest seas in the world. It would be even worse now, at the onset of winter.

Why is the ship flying no flags?

Many modern vessels, including nuclear carriers and large oil tankers, are "Panamax" size, or too large to fit through the Panama Canal.

Yep....
Even a lot of the new bigger container ships.
Sort of makes a lot of the "Chinese control the Panama Canal!" whining moot, since Carrier battle groups can't use the canal anyway, nor most big freighters or tankers of real economic significance. It simply isn't that strategically significant.
To: Al B.
What beautiful photos. Thanks so much for starting this thread and posting the pics. I went to the Reagan Library last weekend and picked up one of the USS Reagan caps. Also, I live in the L.A. area and am going to keep my eye out for when the San Diego Navy yard has its next open house after she makes port. I really, really, REALLY want to see her.
