day 333, naval weapons station seal beach. uss new orleans lpd 18 san antonio class, amphibious transport dock. it's homeport is san diego. it is huge!
it's looks really cool. but in researching it, i see that it has had some problems. this ship collided with a nuclear submarine in 2009 in the strait of hormuz, causing an oil spill of 25,000 gallons of diesel fuel and damage to the ship. i didn't know what or where the strait of hormuz was; now i do! it connects the persian gulf and the arabian sea, surrounded by iran, saudi arabia, and united arab emirates. learn something new everyday!
Very cool. That's a stealth ship
