Hello Kitty

The aircraft carrier, USS Kitty Hawk stopped by the Harbour City over the weekend. The media hype around it drove me to take a peek for myself this afternoon. Parked at the Naval Depot at Garden Island near Potts Point, these photos were taken from near Mrs. Macquarie's Chair. The ship was huge and could not be captured in its entirety on my camera. It was very impressive with all the jet planes and helicopters on board. Fortunately, I was able to see this 47-year old giant before it is to be decommissioned next year.

Hmm...I have this sudden urge to go watch "Top Gun"...
