My sons ship (MS Ryndam) arrived in San Diego and he took these on his phone camera a few hours ago.

Cool. Just to the North of where she's tied up are HMS Surprise (replica, formerly Rose), Star of India, and some other cool stuff.

:yep:

Is that the Holland America cruise ship MS Ryndam? Searching around for it and that's the only result I'm getting so far. :ping:

You ought to be busting buttons proud, Jim. Great pics, beautiful ship.

[Reece]

I bet Jim wishes he could be there with him!!:yep:

[SteamWake]

He is not the only one. :03:

Never seen so many carriers in one spot. Very cool!

[kiwi_2005]

Nice photos! Especially seeing those carriers :yeah:

[TarJak]

Your son is a lucky geordie. Hope he can find a good drop of the brown dog somewhere nearby.

Never seen so many carriers in one spot. Very cool!You should see Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. Last count I had there was four waiting to be turned into razor blades. Nice pics from the boy Jimbuna, as proud as any father should be of his son.

[Jimbuna]

Thank you my friends....yes, like any father I'm ever so proud :salute:

He's off to Alaska in a day or two and comes home the back end of May.

Hubbard Glacier (Alaska area I presume) lol

He's just turned 21 so still needs to learn a few things in life like....always get on the edge of a picture where the birds are and let some other fool stand in the centre with nothing to hold on to :DL

What a chap :salute: He must be having the time of his life. Good on him, and good on you Jim for raising such a lad. :yeah:

[UnderseaLcpl]

I can't believe I didn't see this thread until just now. :doh:

Your son looks like a fine young man, Jim. I hope he enjoys his stay in the San Diego area. Just make sure he doesn't visit MCRD. Last time I went there, they shaved my head and wouldn't let me leave for 3 months.

He's clearly a Geordie lad. Short sleeved shirt whilst in the Arctic. :har: He's a proper hard nut.

I had a stopover in San Diego on a flight Monday. Looked out the left side as we were landing, and had a nice view of CVN-70 and 76. Quite an impressive sight, and not something I had even thought to expect.

[I-25]

tell em to get good shots of the sub base on the way back out :up:

[frau kaleun]

That's a fine looking boy you've got there, Jim. :up:
