WOW.

I wonder if the CWG-2 will be aboard the Lincoln, or will fly off.

Looking forward to it. Should be really cool to see Honest Abe. I rememeber when CVN-72 had an open house in the early 90's at the now defunct Long Beach Naval Shipyard.

Can't really say its worth the wait. Spent about 3 hours in line and the only thing you get ts o see is the hangar bay and the flight deck. I spent about 30 mins on the ship. What did suck though is that I saw 4 busloads of people (who have been waiting for hours) get driven over to the carrier then told they weren't letting people in anymore. I felt the event organizers totally failed at communication

Is the hanger deck full or empty? 
What part of the hanger deck did you see?

I assume you reached the hanger deck via ladders and not on the elevator like the Stennis did in Feb at CONA kickoff.

Thanks.

VFA-2 color bird? Wow. Been wanting a shot of the Bullet boss for a long time. If it wasn't such a fiasco to get out there I'd go.


Hopefully CVN-72's PAO is a lot more personable than 74's. I was a little bit surprised by her demeanor on press day at NASNI CoNA. I thought the objective of a PAO was to make the press say good things about the Navy...

I have heard from a friend of mine that Los Angeles Navy Week had a total of 43,000 people toured the event. Also the Navy is planning on returning to the Port of Los Angeles in 2013 for another week long event. Possibly with an amphibious assault ship.
