I was driving around in Boston on Sunday. To my surprise, I spotted a Navy ship tied up to one of the piers. Of course, I had to take a picture with my Cobra in the foreground.
So I drove over to that pier to check it out. It was tough trying to get a picture of the entire ship and the Cobra in one shot. The USS Bataan is an amphibious-assault ship commissioned in 1997 and is 844 feet long. It has a complement of landing craft (launched out the stern) along with Harrier jets and attack helicopters.
For additional pics and info, check out their website. One hell of an impressive ship.
