Shiloh
The very memorable Family and Friends Cruise on the USS Shiloh, CG67, gave me a great opportunity for many photos about the operation and crew of the ship. Some, such as our San Diego skyline which is/was under construction, as well as the Coronado Bay Bridge from which Caltrans removed the toll last week, received ample attention since the various angles and vistas presented to me were unusual.

Thanks to my sponsors the CMC, to the Captain and XO for their splendid hospitality. Thank you!

You are quite the photographer.  Seeing these brings back some great memories.  To some, the most beautiful skyline in the world.

Shiver me timbers Cap'n.  That almost resembles a real vessel, an aircraft carrier.  Nice pics heinz, as always.  You should have been a Photographer's Mate
