PACIFIC OCEAN (July 24, 2010) The aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) transits the Pacific Ocean with ships assigned to Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) 2010 combined task force as part of a photo exercise north of Hawaii. RIMPAC, the world’s largest multinational maritime exercise is a biennial event which allows participating nations to work together to build trust and enhance partnerships needed to improve maritime security.

Awesome photo!  I wonder if the USS Obama will be an oil skimming boat?

  4. The Policeman of the World.

    And this represents only a small-fraction of a naval forces;
    1/10th of our fleet carriers, and only a 18th or our carrier strike wings.
    1/10th of our assault carriers, (which are bigger than our WW2 fleet carriers).
    and a small handful of our 79 cruisers and destroyers and 30 frigates in active service.

    Most of the major industrial powers can’t field more than a handful of destroyers at-best.

    There are currently 11 aircraft carriers, 22 cruisers, 57 destroyers, 2 littoral combat ships, 30 frigates, 10 amphibious assault ships, 2 amphibious command ships, 9 amphibious transport docks, 12 dock landing ships, 53 attack submarines, 14 ballistic missile submarines, 4 guided missile submarines, 14 mine countermeasures ships, 10 patrol boats. Support ships include two hospital ships, four salvage ships, two submarine tenders, four ammunition ships, five combat stores ships, four fast combat support ships, nine dry cargo ships, 15 replenishment oilers, four Fleet Ocean Tugs, four ocean surveillance ships, four container ships, 16 cargo ships (used for pre-positioning of Marine and Army materiel), and seven vehicle cargo ships (also used for pre-positioning).

    And that doesn’t include the numerous battleships, aircraft and assault carriers, cruisers and destroyers held in strategic and ready reserves. Or the two carriers, 5 assault carriers and 4 addl. destroyers under construction.

  5. Bruce, I think that the USS Obummer will be a garbage scow.

  6. I am so proud to know a crew member of this naval ship. He is an outstanding person, working hard for our freedom and for each person on the USS Ronald Regan, I thank you for your service. We miss you Mr. Linville!
