Some oversea's visitors of mine would like to try and get a closer look..

If your friends came to Oz to see the American Aircraft Carrier, tell them they're about 4000km's off.

You talking about the big one that does the hovercrafts etc off the bottom floor that was recently up in the joint training up near Rocky (shoulwater?)?

cant remember who, but theres some company doing a 3 hour cruise out to the ship from southbank i think

USS Essex

Its not an aircraft carrier. Its an a "forward-deployed amphibious assault ship"

f***ing impressive stuff. Would love to have a look around it.

Yeah on SBS the other night they had a interview with some of the america's and a look around it ... pretty amazing ... and pretty expensive ... maybe Anna should buy a few for Qld.

heh, the cabbies'll be loving it

back a few years ago when the aussie dollar was about 55c to the US$ some big american USS whatever ship docked with ~900 or so on board. A common thing the cabbies reported was the seppos would ask if it was okay to pay in US$. So if the meter came to $45, they'd pay $45USD. Nice.
