This Sailed By Today! - cjs - 05-10-2011

The U.S. Missile Defense Agency's X-Band Radar vessel on is way to a shipyard in Seattle. It is humungous and my pictures didn't do it justice, so here it is when it was in Pearl Harbor.

Very cool! William explained how it worked to me. He thought it was very cool, also. Being familiar with container ships, I can only imagine the size of that joker! Thanks for sharing! I'd never heard of such a thing!

Daphne, tell William, when you guys 'finally' get here, we'll give him a chair and binoculars and he will be fascinated with what sails by here!!!

We'll probably have to drag him in to eat....LOL!

That is so cool! I loved watching the ships sail by when I worked in San Francisco. You are so lucky to have those views!!

That would be so incredible to see! You get to see so many neat things passing thru up there I would just sit and watch all day long

That is awesome, what an incredible site that must be to see in person. I have never seen anything like it. Thanks for sharing.
