Of special interest to Naval Aviation enthusiasts: A P-80 being tested off the deck of the USS FDR in 1946. Flown by a Marine, of course, none other than the 1st USMC Ace of WW2 and legendary test pilot Marion Carl.

Check out this absolutely insane low level napalm run by a P-80 Shooting Star in Korea. That smoke stack in the upper right says this pilot is running closer than id dare off the deck.

We used to be a proper country. Look at this and tell me the navy is serious about defense.

40 years later, her cousin doing much the same work. Its now been just over 40 years since this picture was taken.
Interesting to think that the battleship had survived 40 years to launch missiles & now 40 years later, the same missile is being launched, just from different platforms

BB-58 with her guns at max elevation and dang near max starboard traverse during WW2. I have never seen an American Battleship firing with her guns at this elevation. Incredible shot.
