| First Cruise to Persian Gulf After 4 years at the Naval Academy and 3 years of flight training, my son is on his first cruise, San Diego to the Persian Gulf. He flies the MH-60S Knighthawk with HSC-23 "Wild Cards". As he sends me pictures, I will post the most interesting ones for the forum members. This is a photo of the carrier George Washington coming up to the USNS Bridge for stores transfer and aviation fuel. My son flies from the aft deck of the Bridge, a Naval supply ship nearly the size of a WW2 Essex class carrier. |
