I really like this one, its a shame about the differences in light intensity around the bottom of the boat, it unfortuantly ditracts the eye, from what is otherwise a fantastic picture. i love the stream of reflected light its adds to the eeeriness.

Looks more like a carrier vs a battleship. ;) Still, it's a good picture, nicely worked. :)

She's a carrier. USS Oriskany by my guess judging by the look of the ship, what she was sunk for, and when the picture was taken. Still an awesome pic.

your right, it was a huge carrier docked here in pensacola, stripped down before they blew it up and turned it into a dive object. Thx for the compliment.

The Oriskany used to visit Subic Bay in the Philippines when I was there in 1976. Went on an open house tour of her.
