  • High energy lasers + radar targeting = nothing flies again. Aircraft, satellites, artillery rounds even.

    All technology filters down eventually (take nukes for instance). We could end up back in trenches and firing close quarter broad-sides again someday.

        • Figured I would run some recent pictures of ships on the Delaware River. Some are mothballed but not all of them are.

              • The ex-USS Saipan LHA-2 (a ghost, this ship was supposed to have been sunk a few years back) It was towed to Norfolk and then re-towed back to Philadelphia. This just shows you that not all MARAD records are exactly accurate.;)

                • Conveyor Painted?

                  Did the conveyor get painted astern of the New Jersey?

                  It appears to be a different shade if color.

                  • The ex-USS John F. Kennedy CV-67. If you look close enough, you can see her mast laying down on the stern.

                      • The mothballed heavy lift cargo ship USNS Regulus T-AKR 292 and sister. Humphrey is too the right in the picture.

                          Perhaps, they tend to paint them once they start fading sicne in dulls the co name on them.;)

                            • An aerial view of Able Uk's TERRC yard at Graythorp, Hartlepool, England.

The two rigs visable outside of the basin are on the left GSF Britannia & Ensco 70 on the right. Also sections of the rig North West Hutton can be seen in the yard at various stages of scrapping.

                                *Must have slipped out since these pics were taken in October of this year. With where she was moored she could have easlily slipped away without anyone noticing. They tend to tow ships out at night around here, but if you are on 495 in Delaware its quite hard to miss a ship getting towed out. Just look up since the channel comes so close to the roadway.
