    Always nice to see shots of naval ships. The aircraft carrier with 70 on the island is the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70....the "N" designating it as nuclear powered), the third of the Nimitz class carriers built. The smaller carrier with 6 on the island is the USS Enterprise (CV-6), the "Big E." Couldn't see the hull number on the Aegis cruiser or the oiler. At my former job, I spent time on a lot of the carriers doing installs and upgrades to their Seasparrow missile systems, as well as a few of destroyers and a couple of oilers (supply ships).

    I'm a ragbagger (sail boater, unlike a stink potter which is a power boater) and the shots of the ketch-rigged sailboat (aft [rear] mast in front of the cockpit. Yawl-rigged has the aft mast behind the cockpit) were nice to see.
