USS KITTY HAWK CV-63
These pictures are of the USS KITTY HAWK CV-63, the ship I am currently stationed on. More pictures to come as we are currently deployed in the Persian Gulf.
The HAWK saying"Hajimemashita Nippon" ("Glad to meet you for the first time, Japan") in transit from Hawaii.
A NATO Sea Sparrow missle being fire from NATO mount 2.
A F-14 taking off on April 23rd, '99, while deployed in the Persian Gulf. And yes, those are laser guided bombs hanging from the Hornet.
Everyone leaving the ship in Bahrain, getting onto the liberty boats.
Views from the liberty boats... these pics didn't scan as good as I hoped.
CBR warfare? Never heard of it.
Some pics I took on the flight deck in the Gulf.
One of the Navy's faster partol craft, in Bahrain.
Going through the Strait of Hormuz. A little too close to land for comfort.
Myself in Bahrain. It is definitely weird staying at the same hotel as the U.N. Special Weapons Committee, whose job is to perform the inspections in Iraq.
A pretty cool French cruiser that was pulled into Bahrain. You can see one of Bahrain's ships in the background to the left.
