OK... one more... since Colin asked!

Very cool! Something I've always wondered, though....those transverse lines of perforations in the deck....What are they?

Would they also act as a soak-away?
I imagine deck ops could get pretty slippy in adverse weather
Nice photos sir! I always love seeing these sorts of shots. Anymore?

Wht is the sea foaming in the background of the last picture? Curious...

Cool shots!
@Capt. Vick. There is a helicopter so it could be downwash but certainly doesn't look like it. Depth charge maybe?
