HMS Belfast Really neat ship. I took my wife and sons to London for a week three years ago and thoroughly enjoyed the ship tour.

I've only been to London once before, but I never got the chance to go to it. The IWM's good though.

She's a beautiful museum sitting in San Diego Harbor now. I was on her three weeks ago.
I visited last spring. The equipment it had was so archaic.

WWII also reinforced America's view that the carrier task force was the best way to ensure freedom of the seas among nations and force projection abroad.

How do you guys get the photos to appear larger? It seems I can only attach thumbnails. I have some cool pics of Soviet navy ships from some of my recce missions around the world. Thanks.

Are you uploading them to Imgur and then copying their image URLs? Try that if you're not. If you are then I don't know.

This was from a flight following the Kiev as it made it's way out of the Mediterranean. It had no Yak VSTOLs on the flight deck at the time, just Helixs.

Here's a pic of the Frunze (Kirov class) on it's way to the Gulf of Sollum. The soviets had three main anchorages in the Med- Tartus (Syria), Gulf of Sollum (Egypt) and Tarabulus (Libya). This was late 80s when the Soviets were still active in the Mediterranean.

This was an interesting one. We were splitting detachments between Diego Garcia (Dodge) in the Indian Ocean and Bahrain (Persian Gulf) and we rigged this Charlie Class sub that the Indian Navy was leasing from the Soviets.

This is a Nanuchka I class we rigged multiple times in the Black Sea. We were flying missions out of Eskisehir Turkey where they had an Air Force base. You can see the tubes for the SS-N-9 Siren anti-ship missiles which had a range of 75 miles. You can also see the 76mm gun on the stern along with all the soviet sailors looking up at us.
The soviets exported a lot of these to countries like Libya, Egypt and Syria, but they did not get the SS-N-9, but instead got the less advanced SS-N-2 Styx missile system which had a shorter range of around 50 miles.

Can't go into too much detail about my encounters with the Ruskies, but they were shit when I was in the mob and I'd never ever go to sea on anything of theirs.
