USNS WASHINGTON CHAMBERS (T-AKE 11) launch

So, this is what we've been up to today. Actually, we were onboard and as of the penning of this scheduled post we are still onboard. Hey, maybe it's time to start live blogging these launch events.


This is the first video we saw posted. We'll add or replace if any better ones come up on Youtube.


The WASHINGTON CHAMBERS motto: UT MARE QUOT UT VENTUS

To the sea and into the air

Fitting for the father of naval aviation.








(Addendum #1):

A little time floating around onboard the CHAMBERS before she was tugged to her berth and 20 years on the waterfront got us a little nostalgic... and Elvis a little torchy. Folks, "Shipbuilding"
