We took this photo late one afternoon last fall.
This Navy ship is among 5 "Prepositioned Ships" that sit in the Philippine Sea off the coast of Saipan. These ships are fully loaded with supplies for 30 days for an entire Batallion. The ships are ready to leave at a moment's notice to defend our country. The soldiers would be deployed from elsewhere and meet up with the ship at the troubled destination. I never knew we were so well protected and it seems we have people in our Armed Forces (and elsewhere) who have thought of everything that is needed to be done in an emergency.
Lately since the Tsunami we only have 1 ship still left for us to watch each day.
At Christmas I told Andrew I thought they would look great bedecked in Christmas Lights! Of course his reply was: "Who do you think would pay that light bill?"
