Ronald Reagan commissioned

Hundreds attend the commissioning ceramony for the nucleared powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan. Mrs. Reagan gave the ship's crew the traditional first order as an active unit of the Navy: "Man the ship and bring her to life."

I found this online and uploaded it for the page Ship Commissioning, then later placed it in the USS Ronald Reagan page. I think it does a good job of illustrating a ship commissioning ceramony.

• Comment. Is it just me or are there blotches in the sky? Enochlau 00:51, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Now that you have pointed that out, I do see some unexplained black spots in the sky. Maybe the camera lense was dirty, or they could be birds of some sort. In any case, I lack the photoshop expertise to edit them out. TomStar81 01:59, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
    • It's digital reflex, this is dust (or water as we are on a ship) on the CCD. Ericd 12:21, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

• Oppose. It's cool, but i'd like to see more of the ship. --ScottyBoy900Q∞ 03:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose. Far too bland and colorless, and the ship's own shadows detract from the photo. JediMaster16 10:00, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
• Oppose - perhaps a historic photo but a great photo ? JoJan 19:27, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
