Just Launched.
I’m not making this up.
Ultra modern design eh! The first of a new class of Destroyers.
To be commanded by who? Captain James Kirk USN who else! No kidding!
What’s more, I was reminded very much of this old lady.
USS Olympia, heavy cruiser, laid down 1895 and Dewey’s flagship at the battle of Manila Bay. Now languishing at the Port of Philadelphia and in danger of being broken up for want of funds.
Barely a century between invention and reinvention.
Boadicea's Chariot 
Why didn’t they name it USS Enterprise I wonder?
Because there’s already one, a big one!

Hello Soutie: Not for much longer, she’s another one headed for the breakers.
Oh bugger! Thank God I know more about washing up than boats!!
Fearsome looking beast. Not sure it would be the most comfortable ride in a beam sea though!
Hi LW
Of course the History Channel have immortalized the Second World War ‘Big E’ (CV-6)
I must have watched every episode more than once, as Churchill might have said “some ship, some crew.”
Are you sure it’s not upside down?
