Super video of the Mighty G-Dub! Miss that ship and the great times we had while stationed aboard! My husband served from Feb. 2005 through August 2008 aboard the G-Dub. Met some incredible people! Captain Gary White was a super great person.

@TallSky got it! the steepwater band - ride free

[TallSky]

@SuperboyConnerKent OK great - looks like YouTube has now added their song advertisement as well. I agree it's one of the better songs of all the choices YouTube has to offer.

[SuperboyConnerKent]

[MOMofSAILORonUSSGW]

Beautiful video! Thanks so much! I was lucky enough to see the Kitty Hawk come in and i'll never forget that. However, we had to go home before the USS GW left. So, your film is very valuable to me. Thanks!

Magnificent views Jim. It must bring a lump to your throat, seeing such a beautiful symbol of the United States.

[TallSky]

Yes, John, it is a magnificent sight that I never tire of seeing, let alone filming.

Thanks - and "thank you" from us all to the crew, for serving peace and freedom.
