Note that is the INS Vikramaditya behind the Typhoon. She looks almost complete by now.
I guess she will make it for NW:Pacfic.

Famous picture right? USS Pennsylvania, followed by the USS Colorado, followed by the USS Louisville.

Pardon my French:
"Our officers of cavalry have acquired a trick of galloping at everything. They never consider the situation, never think of manoeuvring before an enemy, and never keep back or provide a reserve."
so thats a Northampton class heavy cruiser right?
Yes, the Louisville was a Northampton. One of the most highly decorated cruisers of the war I believe.

This ship decided to sail into relative shelter off the Scottish coast during the recent "Hurricane Bawbag" (google it) and managed to dump some waste into the sea illegally.

Oh noes, they are dropping waste. Greenpeace is gonna go bananas.
Here is a vid.
I love that "Former Kremlin Advisor", kind of surprised he manage to keep a straight face.
Except for Kuznetsov, Chabanenko and Yaroslav, some russian forumers say that there is an Akula there too. Could be BS, could be true.

Harpoon missiles (I stand corrected, I thought they were Seawolf).
Some Egyptian tanks that have been blown up. Taken in August going down the Suez. Sorry about the blurryness of the pictures. They were taken with my brothers phone.

Your life is your life don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
Be on the watch there are ways out.
You can’t beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes.
And the more often you learn to do it the more light there will be.
Your life is your life.
Know it while you have it.
The gods wait to delight in you.
Erm, no. That's Harpoon cannisters.
Seawolf/dart missiles.
Did I ever mention that I love submarines.
