Hi Guys,
I have just finished a book called "TRIAL" by Mike Carlin, it's about the fire on board the CV65 USS Enterprise in 1969. I have to tell you, I have so much respect for the guys in the book and the crew it really moved me. I am going to do a tribute to the CV 65 USS Enterprise in the near future so keep you eyes posted. By the way you can still purchase the book like I did and the money goes to a good cause. Just google the title.

Hi Guys, I am still working on my Enterprise project, should be about 2 weeks away yet, but stay tuned. In the meantime here's a few to keep you going.
Sorry about the quality of a couple of these but cameras back then weren't all that great..lol and I finally found a half decent shot of America in the canal.
Have a good one, I'll have another post on Monday.

Thanks for the pictures Hump, Have a great Halloween weekend!!
Thanks mate, I'm taking my Mother In Law "Trick or Treating" - She doesn't have to get dressed up - she scares the "Crap" out of me so she should work fine.....lol
Here are a few more mate:-
These next few are of the Eisenhower going through the Deperming process where they de-magnetize the ship or submarine and it makes it less resistant to the water therefore better speeds among other things.
This ones for Santana..lol
Enjoy guys, I hope you like them.
