Who's seen...

The big yank boat moored off Pompey? Might nip down for a gawp...

 

It's a bit far off for me in landlocked Rugeley, which way should I look?

 

Can't see it from here....

I'll look out the front an' see if it's there.

 

Little tip.......KEEP YOUR WIVES AND DAUGHTERS AT HOME !

 

What boat is it?

 

A large flat top.

 

What kind of oil does it have?

 

It's the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Parked off Gosport as its too big to get into port.

 

ask em how many bolts holding the engine in ,my bet is its more than 4

 

6 bolts on a nuclear reactor, but a six-rib gearbox will go straight in.

 

Has your missus come home with a new pair of nylons ?

you sure its parked and not on that sandbank?

 

wow the yanks can do some things correctly

"The Roosevelt is accompanied by its escort ship, the destroyer Winston S Churchill, which traditionally has a UK navigator on board to honour the ship's British connection."

 

Is this the approach to avoiding another Pearl Harbour - make it so big it wont fit in any port? I like their thinking...

 

think they need a new loadmaster.

 

Didn't know you could do handbrake turns in an aircraft carrier...

 

If you look really close you can see Steven (the) Seagull

 

The French do a similar manoeuvre with their carriers, except it changes sides halfway through.

 

Thought all except for grey funnel line had to have a TH pilot aboard or was that a bit of bull honouring etc.etc.?
