Year End Catchup

Failing to update anything for almost two months is really a good way to garner any attention. Whoops. Here are some cool pictures of stuff that has happened on the ship over the last little bit.

The IKE tests its Sea Sparrow missile capability. If these are utilized, the pan is getting hot. I was told by the Combat Systems guys that we hit our target. Of course, everyone tells me they floss too.
Away the missile goes from the IKE...

Shout out to my cousin Ryan who is also apparently a Navy Hornet pilot in his spare time.

A few shots of one of our UNREPS (underway replenishments). A USNS refueling ship comes alongside to deliver fuel through direct lines, cargo over shot lines and through helo ops. Its a pretty spiffy thing to see from Vulture's Row.
