On Friday afternoon the nuclear aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt sailed into Table Bay.
One big aircraft carrier...quite impressive!!

Here are some shots I took this morning....carrier about 5 Km out.

Keep well.
OPS 1961-1968. Huguenot High 1969-1973.
Military Service Jan 1974-June 1975.
Worked in Oranjemund July 1975-March 1979.

Life's journey is not to
arrive at the grave safely
in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn out, shouting
'..holy sh*t ..what a ride!

Nice Pics Richard.....saw it as well.Went to The Waterfront to-day and saw the War "type" ship that travels with the carrier, very impressive. Apparently the carrier will not be docking...so says the "main marine guy".
O.P.S -1969, Springfield Convent -1970, Holy Cross Convent-1972., Centaurus-1974
I got around.

That is right, the carrier may not dock because it is nuclear driven.
