A Few Hours Ago in San Diego

Jimbuna · 05-05-10, 04:43 PM

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.

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

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

kiwi_2005 · 05-05-10, 09:55 PM

Nice photos! Especially seeing those carriers

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

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 · 05-06-10, 05:21 AM

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

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

Great stuff, Jim

he's a lucky bastid

He's clearly a Geordie lad. Short sleeved shirt whilst in the Arctic.

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.
