Pacific Ocean (June 18, 2006) - Three Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers, the USS McCampbell (DDG 85), USS Lassen (DDG 82) and USS Shoup (DDG 86) steam in formation during a photo exercise (PHOTOEX) for Valiant Shield 2006.

:up:

Wait.

You mean those DDGs... :huh::huh::huh:

What the picture doesn't (can't) show is the sub skipper seeing the same view in his perscope, snikering "These's guys can't find S%&$!":rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

As long as it's one of ours. :know:

On the behalf of Kaptan

WOW WHAT A GREAT PICTURE.
:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

They even got the moon in that pic!

Is the Navy Photoshopping?:shifty:

That's not the moon, that's the Navy's new Death Star. :hmm:

It's a trap!

Do they line up to conserve fuel?

Naw, they line up to pose for photos.

Actually, I'm serious.



One objection to the picture, though: they got the water color all wrong. DW's water looks much better.

That's when a very cruel submariner would fire a water slug ;)

No way. Not at all like David Hackworth when stationed in Germany after WW2 and expecting a Russian visitor coming to inspect the troops. They didn't paint rotten grass and concrete green for his flyover, and they didn't specifically have Russian speaking US troops front and center for his inspection, giving the impression they were all fluent, smart and super troops. It's just how everything is in reality, like the picture ;)

Damn, that Arleigh Burke DDG is one hot ship. :up::rock::up::rock:
