USS Carl Vinson, December 2023
Was honoured to be invited to visit the USS Carl Vinson when she called Singapore in December 2023. After a ceremony in the hanger bay we were invited to take photographs on the flight deck, albeit after sundown. Made for some great opportunities which don’t come around often, if ever…
US Navy C-2 Greyhound, one of my all time favourite aircraft, sitting quietly on deck.
E-2 Hawkeye with beautiful nose art.
the same C-2, just from another angle. the light in the background is not the sun, it's a floodlight on Changi Naval Base.
EA-18 Growler with a nice reflection from the rain. Camera wasn’t happy that day sitting on deck in the puddles.
Seahawk all folded up and tied down on deck.
the second E-2 Hawkeye from the Carl Vinson, providing aerial surveillance for the strike group.
my favourite shot of the day because of the reflection in the water on the flight deck. Seahawk with really nice light from the superstructure of the Carrier.
US Navy F-18E Super Hornet sitting next to the elevator.
