Let's remember today that US forces are still serving all over the world, and as we take a moment to give thanks to our veterans, lets remember to give thanks to our deployed forces. They are still going in harm's way.
Pic really shows the size difference between a 'real' carrier, and a helo carrier... flight deck and acft storage are significantly different.
