Default USS Yorktown CV-10

Since I am in Charleston SC, requests have been made to see the Carrier that is here. I went and here are some of the photos.

Sorry some of them are blurry the place is not very well lit and I have to use the night mode to get any pictures at all.



The Yorktown is home to the Museum of the Medal of Honor it is the only one like it in the US. The kids did not appreciate it but it is worth seeing.






I like the F-9 Cougar I had never seen one in person that I can recall.








I like the AA guns, seems like the are the only ones you can find around. I have a similar one from the USS Lexington CV-16



You can also see the Destroyer Laffey DD-724.


And the USS Clagmore 343


If there are other things you would like to see. Feel free to ask.

Yes that would be the "Tik" Family. Nothing to personal as Mrs Tik is very paranoid about online stocker type persons.

Unfortunately that is all that I am aloud to post we dont have a memory card for the camera so we are limited to about 25 pictures a trip.

Yeah, you can't be too careful about that.

So, what is your home address, car make and model and at what hours are y'all away from the house?
