Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

Our glass pieces we made the other day.

My wife made the egg and is solid, my orb was blown by yours truly

I was going through some old photos this morning, and came across this:

1966 (Sept., I think)
USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42) in drydock at Yokosuka, Japan.

While operating in the Gulf of Tonkin, she threw one blade on a screw. At the time, a recovery of aircraft was underway, or just completed, I don't remember which. In any case, we were making our own wind, so were steaming at 30 kts, or so. I happened to be in the wardroom (aft, 2nd or 3rd deck, above shaft alley) when the blade let go. To quote Jerry Lee Lewis, there was a "whole lotta shakin' goin'on."
