Default Fleet Week 2011, Portland OR


Getting ready to shove off. The new and improved PT-658


Tide up down town.


Waitin' for the Coasties to show up.


Oh, there they are.










USS Blueback as seen from the 37mm cannon.


USCG bouy tenders



What it this, some sort of pirate ship? We had 4 bubbleheads show up for a tour, so we showed 'em a good time. Bubbleheads rock!


Some ship getting a new paint job near our boat house.

Yer boat's too modern. Radar, extra guns, 1945 not 1942...

Nice!

Did that fit with the mast and the bridge ? From that view, I'd say NO



Nice pictures here...

If that's the Interstate 5 bridge over the Willamette River, there's PLENTY of clearance. I always get the willies driving over that thing. It's just foreshortening making it look lower than it really is.

Excellent pictures.
