That’s true along the Elizabeth River in Virgina. Naval Station Norfolk always has a formidable array, like
LPD-24 USS Arlington,
T-ARC-7 USNS Zeus,
T-AKE-13 USNS Medgar Evers,
T-ESB-3 USNS Lewis B. Puller,
lots of patrols and a fence,
T-AKR-5063 USNS SS Cape May,
and its complement of barges. Here’s more of a description.
Then, there’s the R class.

This is GHP&W 9, and since this unexpected trip to new ports has materialized, here we are. Passing through Thimble Shoals Channel looking toward the Delmarva peninsula . . . it’s hard to capture the expanse of this bridge/tunnel. But once inside, vessels to behold through the sudden rain include
a noisy LCAC,
a historically-named fishing boat,
a Stiletto,
and a landing craft. Is that a pelican-shaped drone flying escort?
Although we passed through Hampton Roads, the rain grayed out any sign of shore, where I’d been ashore four years ago. Gold Coast was pushing a covered barge with
seagull lookouts.
Spring Scenery left a lot to the imagination.
But the fleet lining the Norfolk shore was fabulous starting with USNS Lewis B Puller,
possibly about to get a push from Tracy Moran, and
USNS Supply,
and Robert E. Perry.
And much more, but for this post, we stop here. All photos here by Will Van Dorp.
