Warhorse64 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 The ship in #1 and #6 is a Tico. Not sure about the big greys in #3, the near one looks like an amphib of some sort, maybe a Whidbey Island? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CV32 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Pics 1 and 6 are of a Ticonderoga class cruiser. There at least four operating out of Mayport, iirc. Pic 3 looks familiar, but I can't quite place em. Should be obvious, with cranes that freakin' big. Pic 4 shows a couple LMSR (Large Medium Speed Ro-Ro).

CV32 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Got it. Pic 3 shows SL-7 (Algol class) fast sealift ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse_trb Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I was thinking it might be a tico but didn't know how many were still around last ones I saw were these 2. Where they were parked next to the second pic of a moded destroyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse_trb Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yes I think she was a test bed for the radar, soon to become a reef when I looked her up after taking the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably one of the last pics of her in a near intact state. She was stripped down pretty good before becoming a reef a couple of months back. Pics here.

eclipse_trb Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Well at least they didn't melt her down to make isuzus or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
