    Those are some cool pics. My buddy sent it to me a few days ago, I didn't want them to stop.

    I do have a question though, why does the deck of that ship look like it is covered in plywood?

    Decks of battleships are covered in teac wood. If I remember correctly, it was to eliminate the possibility of a spark igniting gunpowder charges on deck during magazine loading.

    Awesome photos.

    Great website. Found some other wonderful pictures of bomber nose art.

    Good find. Some of the artwork is extremely well done. "Strawberry Bitch" - ha ha.

    Sadly that period is long gone when such art was allowed. Can you imagine the hulla ballou that would erupt if some crew had the nerve to decorate a modern war plane? If it was allowed, I can only imagine what sort of weird ass stuff might show up in our current state of "cultural erosion".

    Great photos. The battleship looks like the USS Iowa. I opened the link and found another photo of the USS Wisconsin.

    Seeing those 16" guns fired on the USS Iowa was something to remember.

    I saw these two and said to myself, "That's why you pay extra for optics that can put up with abuse."

    I don't think your standard budget minded fixed 4x scope would handle this very well. I also just have to add, I LOVE the look of the dude's full size M16A4 in the first pic.
