Hi,

After a break in the weather it was a good trip out on the Gosport Ferry to view the USS Gerald R Ford whilst she is anchored in Stokes Bay for a few days.

A nice set of picture's for a new ship there's a lot of rust or is that normal?

[daggerfan]

A nice set of pictures. Would the Hornet on the extreme left of the second pic, and featured on its own in the fifth-last pic, be an early model used for aircraft handling training?

It is indeed a training frame, Bu:163129.
