Holy massive blurry picture. You may want to scale this down abit. Can't see aft but possibly USS America? Mike

Raptorx7_slith -> RE: ID this Ship (5/18/2017 3:06:33 PM)
Definitely an American amphibious assault ship.

Dysta -> RE: ID this Ship (5/18/2017 3:41:53 PM)
Can you take a clearer picture as an answer? http://fav.me/d82iakd (Click to see)

kevinkins -> RE: ID this Ship (5/18/2017 3:44:13 PM)
Sorry. Didnt realize it would display that way. Repost tonight.

kevinkins -> RE: ID this Ship (5/18/2017 3:54:16 PM)
If I got any closer my boat would be shot out from under me.[:D]

Peter66 -> RE: ID this Ship (5/18/2017 4:43:11 PM)
Clearly resembles this. http://www.cmano-db.com/ship/2354/ :) I'm going for LHA 6 as well but I'm unsure about the stern. Will be interested to see what the actual answer is.

redcoat -> RE: ID this Ship (5/18/2017 5:42:29 PM)
A Wasp-class amphibious assault ship maybe?

VGBadgerz -> RE: ID this Ship (5/18/2017 6:03:15 PM)
I'm going with LHA 7 Tripoli

kevinkins -> RE: ID this Ship (5/18/2017 6:23:16 PM)
USS Tripoli (LHA-7) was just launched and it's probably well south of this position undergoing sea trial in the Gulf. But I could be wrong. A smaller pic is no better re: resolution. But it scales better on my cell phone. Kevin

redcoat -> RE: ID this Ship (5/18/2017 7:39:38 PM)
Is it USS Makin Island (LHD 8)?

quote: ORIGINAL: VGBadgerz I'm going with LHA 7 Tripoli That's what I thought at first but the hazy hills in the background are NOT Pascagoula, and that ship looks finished, not just launched (admittedly hard to tell from the picture). Back to the drawing board, so to speak.

Pic NOT from a Russian sub .. something more like a Boston Whaler. Although the recon sensors might be in the same league [;)] - Kevin

quote: ORIGINAL: kevinkin Pic NOT from a Russian sub .. - Kevin Does this mean that the ship is on the East Coast? If that is the case my earlier guess is on the other coast. [:(] My final guess is USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7). I'm probably completely wrong. [:D]

kevinkins -> RE: ID this Ship (5/18/2017 11:45:28 PM)
Yes ... East Coast. Picture taken May 17 mid afternoon. I will check in the morning and see if she remains docked at that waterfront location. Kevin

ClaudeJ -> RE: ID this Ship (5/19/2017 1:11:05 PM)
USS Kearsarge?

BeirutDude -> RE: ID this Ship (5/19/2017 1:22:38 PM)
My guess would have been USS America (LHA-6) or more likely, since she just launched, USS Tripoli (LHA-7) but the hills in the background make the latter dubious as Tripoli is in Mississippi. USS Iwo Jima is currently in Mayport. She is definitely an LHD/LHA.

kevinkins -> RE: ID this Ship (5/19/2017 6:08:29 PM)
The ship remains in place today. Kevin

kevinkins -> RE: ID this Ship (5/21/2017 9:16:21 PM)
Well I am not exactly sure. Pretty sure it is the USS Kearsarge. http://www.uscarriers.net/lhd3history.htm has her in Norfolk on the 19th so that does makes me wonder. The pic was taken of the Earle weapons station pier. The Kearsarge frequents the depot which supplies ships out of Norfolk. I always see ammo ships there. It has all the look of an LHD. This time I was lucky. Kevin

redcoat -> RE: ID this Ship (5/21/2017 10:29:03 PM)
USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7) moored at Berth A2/A4, Pier 3 at Naval Weapons Station Earle, N.J., on May 15: http://www.uscarriers.net/lhd7history.htm

Why I thought it is USS Kearsage : http://militarynews.com/app/fleetweeknewyork/ships.html http://militarynews.com/app/fleetweeknewyork/documents/FWNY_17-02.pdf

Iwo makes sense now. Good one. Thx.
