This one wasn’t taken at sea, but from our boat while anchored for fishing at the north end of the CBBT.

This one was at sea, taken by me from the bridge of the USS IOWA in early 1985.

Not at sea, in the Valetta/Malta port - on May 10, 2023:
The Palumbo ship repair yard painted a dock crane to resemble a giraffe.

Behind the crane, dry-docked, is the ‘USS Hershel Woody Williams’ (ESB-4).
