Description


Last shot of IWO JIMA for those who've been following along. Quite an impressive overhang and drop to the surface. If you are just finding this tour, it's a pier-side gander of the IWO docking next to USS INTREPID museum in preparation for Veterans' Day 2016. A grand view of Ellen doing her thing ... ISTR at least 5 tugs working this docking. Most I've seen before this is two nudging JOHN W. BROWN around Bal'mer harbor piers. Thanks to all who've followed along so far. We will be poking around The Met museum after some detouring down other paths. The comments have been great. I learned that one follower spent 9.5 years aboard ENTERPRISE... either that was a great ship to serve on or it was a case of getting hopelessly lost with a vengeance! In the spirit of the day IWO is preparing for, I salute all who wore blue, green, brown, or whatever flavor uniform your branch preferred. Ditto for the men and women still serving. Enjoy; thanks for viewing.

Great series of photos!
In regards to serving on board the Big E, it was the rating and training that kept sending me back after shore duty (specialization is for the birds)

This photo sure gives another perspective of size. Then we need to use our imaginations to grasp how long, wide and high this vessel is! As you said, a LONG drop to the water. Nice photo of the tug doing what it was designed to do. It's a good bit larger than the tugs I saw in New York harbor back in the 1950s. Looking forward to more of your photos! Keep up the good work. :-)

Great capture. I think I have been on her in San Diego in the 80s.

That would have been LPH-2. This ship was launched in 2000.
