The top picture jumped off the page at me! I think we are expected to really see the yacht in front but my interest is also in aircraft carriers due to my own visit to the USS 66 America.
The yacht in front is named Larry,the occasion is the D Day commemoration in 1994,the picture is by Beken of Cowes,they still take great pictures!There is so much to look at in this picture,check those guys standing on the side decks of the carrier,they do not have guard rails by the way.Many thanks to Classic Boat magazine for the use of their October 2000 issue 148 front cover.
The USS Guam did forty years of service,she went into service in 1965,she was taken out of service eventally and then sunk by US 67 JFK of the coast of Florida as a target exercise.
