These two are from 2003 featuring the USS Tarawa, LHA-1, now decommissioned.  Primitive camera, primitive weather.

I appreciate the comments, Joe and Scott.

I especially like that top shot too.  The well deck is open and flooded...half expecting to see some Amtracs or LCAC's to be emerging/embarking.

Here are some CH-46 operations on the flight deck of the USS Germantown circa 1993, somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  Primitive camera (film!) and camera operator!

The wires in the shot can be forgiven, as you were technically on LSD when you shot these.   ;D

Nice photographs Dave. Are these scans of prints or negatives? What a great experience it must have been for you. "Months at a time, out to sea, hardworking, robust, young men, in the prime of their life, at the peak of their natural appetites, desires, their god- given, hormonal instincts..."  :o  ;D

Can you guess the movie?

Jeff,

LOL, had to Google that one.  Which makes sense, since I've not see that movie.  Let me just say, we made numerous port calls around the Pacific Rim on that cruise.   ;)

The images are photos of prints I had made when I had the film developed.  Generally in the 4x6 sized range.  This was way back in the day, primitive photog with primitive gear.

Joe's LSD comment gave me a chuckle too.  For those that may not get the LSD reference.  The USS Germantown is a Landing Ship Docking, and it's naval designation is LSD-42.

...and I had a go at removing two of the more offending wires, but leaving most in place.
