They only have one aircraft carrier?
Too bad.

Nice to see it getting press for being operational after the ten year nightmare of construction and sea trials.

Being shot off a carrier can be a thrill; landing on one is an even greater thrill! Can cause the ol’ sphincter to proclaim it’s innocence. LOL!

That’s one more aircraft carrier than Britannia, the Ruler of the Oceans, now has.
India has one and Red China is building a couple. Even Brazil has one or something pretending to be one.
To: MadMax, the Grinning Reaper
Brazil has one? Has it been waxed? ;>

I believe they are radio antennas. If you look at pictures of our aircraft careers, we sport the same “fishing poles”.

Any time I see a headline like this one on FR, before I even click to view the thread I think, “Oh man, this one’s gonna be fun.” The ensuing posts almost write themselves.

I did not know that they showed Osama Bin Ladin’s burial at sea. Thanks for posting that!

By the way, is that the designated white flag waver standing on the bow?

Spent all my time on Destroyers, didn’t want to make a statement that I couldn’t back up from experience. Thanks.
