The USS George HW Bush and the Royal Navy nuclear submarine, HMS Torbay.
The Americans are on their way back home now, but their next deployment is rumoured to be the Straits of Taiwan, keeping an eye on all those friendly Chinese military divisions just across the water :-)
Our local news channel get a trip to the Bush.

Awsome pictures Snorvey. A U.S. carrier and an U.K. carrier traveling together sends a note so subtle message to the world dontcha think? As for me, not a fan of the Bush family. We have lost too many freedoms because of them.

God bless our men and women in uniform.

Sure does Mr P.
.... And a tip of the hat to the Norwegians too, who also had assets active during the exercise.
It's all about watching those Russians in the Atlantic / Baltic / North Sea.
3 X F18 Hornets from the USS GWB did a low fly past over my town last week, which was a great sight to see.

Hey Snorvey. Hope all is well in your part of the world. Thanks ever so much. The pictures are great. There's enough fire power on just one carriers to deal with N. Korea with out using a single nuke. I am proud that UK and America are are making their presence know in that area. The pass administration has made us look wimpish in the eyes of the world, but there's a new kid on the block now and to quote him. "we a locked and loaded" and ready to deal with any threat . We offer an olive branch to all, with the right hand, but the other hand holds a sword. Let us hope and pray that they all make the RIGHT choice. Peace thru strength is the way to go.
