Very nice pic.

Is the San Antonio a missile frigate? Is it what replaced the Arleigh Burke or are those still around?

It's an LPD - Amphibious Transport Dock. Has one of those well decks in the back for deploying LCACs.

We got three US Navy ships: The San Antonio, the Barry, and the Stout.

I long for the days when it was always a carrier that came in. the last time that happened was in 2000, and I think it was the John F. Kennedy. Very impressive watching it sail up the Hudson!

Oh, and Panzer, the Stout and the Barry are both Arleigh Burke class destoyers.

Cool picture thumbsup

I hope some of the sailors were in early enough to make the last Letterman show.
Every Fleet Week it was cool to see all the Military members in the audience.

Looks like it was built by Volvo.

Volvo--boxy, but good.
