I heard that it is creepy to go thru the suez canal. You have to watch constantly that no terrorists go after the ships.

[wahiawabriank]

Well we always need to keep watch no matter where we are, although this is one of a few places that offers more of an opportunity for an attack it is more likely in other places. Straights of Hormuz is the ONE!!!!

Are you on the George WAshington now? My son will be crossing over in Hawaii from the Kitty Hawk. Are you there yet?

[wahiawabriank]

I am a veteran now. In PA.

Any worship that goes through the Canal always gets a military escort from both sides suez canal..

[Faraoh08]

I Guess your unaware of the type of protraction these guys get from the Egyptian Armed forces. IF you even breath the wrong way you'll have an Infentery division on top of you.

Both sides of the canal are very heavily protected, Trust me what I say, thats a very safe place to cross from and you've never hear of a single incident occurring there!!

i served in v1 on that same cruise. does anybody happen to have a copy of the f-14 movie that the squadrons sold?

[wainfiggitty]

If that was from '04 I was up on the flight deck. That was a very interesting time, glad I served but glad I'm out

How did you get that stern shot of the two ships? Were you on another ship or a helo? Or ashore? hehehe...

[wahiawabriank]

I was on a ship behind those two that you see and behind us there was also another 3 ships.
