Aircraft Carrier Truman

The following picture is off Jacksonville FL. One of my team A&E (ammo and explosive) trucks took this picture. Their son serves on the Truman. She was able to capture the lighting strike as it happened. One in a million shot for sure. Enjoy!

Very fortuitous, great photo. If someone was trying to take a picture of a lightning strike on purpose, it's easy to do: just leave your shutter open until the strike and then close it. The shutter there was only open for 1/8 second so the person was either very lucky or used some other wizardry. Thanks for posting AVG.

They launched one of those rockets with a copper cable attached.

Did it land on the Carrier or somewhere behind it? Quick, somebody find a plane nicknamed Lightning make a joke out of it.

Looks like an UFO trying to zap the carrier with a lightning bolt. The dirty grey men are at it again...
