If I remember correcty it was the USS Kitty Hawk,and at the time it was the largest ship to dock at the port. Normally the aircraft carrier would park outside the port. They spent the previous fortnight dredging the port to help deepen it. It was at Fremantle Harbour in Western Australia.

I have a hard time remembering Alley though, since dollar beer on the pier was practically the only entertainment there.. plus it is one of the only pier-side ports for a big deck.. (crawl to my rack when liberty expires..)

It's being turned around by the tugs. the discoloration of the water near the bow is mud being churned up on the bottom, which happens any time a largeish ship is turned around like that. based on the pier and the coloration of the tugs, i'm going to go out on a limb and say that's in Jebel Ali, UAE.

And yeah, they probably put a fair bit of pollution into the water cause they have to use so much power to move a behemoth like a fully laden carrier!! ...crappy picture if you ask me :P not funny at all when you actually realise that all seems well...

Like if he was a jealous frigate captain, or a cop who is wanting to avenge the death of his fiance, who had an ultimately fatal extra-marital affair with an aircraft carrier, or a port crane operator, who was laid off his job at coincidentally the same time that an aircraft carrier was in port, or perhaps a writer who was intending to write a film script wherein an aircraft carrier would be centrally involved but was told that the financial and logistical issues involved in including an aircraft carrier in a moderate budget film would make its inclusion impractical, or if he was the ghost of a jet pilot who had an unsuccessful landing on an aircraft carrier, and communicated his disdain to a truly gifted television psychic, or he engaged in a risky, but potentially high return investment with an aircraft carrier as a silent partner, who dishonoured their agreement, citing in its decision the current financial market instability.
