U.S. Aircraft Carrier Spotted Off The Coast Of The Rockaways As Part Of Federal Response To Sandy November 1, 2012 3:38 PM

Chopper 2 saw the military vessel in the Atlantic Ocean, a part of the federal response to superstorm Sandy.
It is a hopeful sight for folks in Queens, who were among some of the hardest hit residents during the storm.

This article is about Rockaways in Queens NY, not Hoboken NJ.
Which carrier??
oh no... did they check to see if any floating museums had been loosened?/
those are still pretty big
I hope the marines on board have fixed bayonets...Far Rockaway is a pretty tough neighborhood.
LOL, that’s hilarious! It even had a UFO on it? Some sort of space ship...
