Ok all you old Salts. Let's see who can identify this ship. Try without looking at my profile.

I believe it's USS Enterprise. Those ramps positioned at the edge of the flight deck are unique to that ship, I think. I never seen them on a Nimitz Class. There's also the exterior piping on the hull, which is also seems to be unique to the Enterprise. Nimitz class ships have the piping mostly interior of the hull. After I submit this, I'm going to look at your profile to see if I'm correct. :-)

Yes. It is an Aircraft Carrier. US I assume as I see an American Flag... :)

David is correct. It's the USS Enterprise. That picture was taken on the day of her Inactivation Ceromony. I was invited to attend since I serves onboard and belong to The Enterprise Association. Was a very sad day for those of us that served onboard.
