I thought I ought to go and take a pic of this gigantic supercarrier as it's currently anchored in Stokes Bay, Gosport, Hampshire. It's only a "record" shot, taken in hazy sunshine using my 40-150 lens and a 1.4 teleconverter.......and a crop......and processed to death.

I was lucky enough to get onboard the USS Nimitz years ago to have a look round.........and it's difficult to explain just how big these things are.

Check out her impressive stats on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_George_H.W._Bush

It does look better viewed large, on black..............but not much :-))
