Photo Of Five Aircraft Carriers In Port At Naval Station Norfolk

Having served on the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CVA 63)
during the Vietnam War, I found the above photo of five mighty
aircraft carriers in port to be interesting.

The photo shows the aircraft carriers USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69), USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), USS Enterprise (CVN 65), USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), and USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) in port at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. Norfolk is the world's largest naval station.
