On Thursday, walking up to the ferry after drinks with cow-orkers, I saw this small aircraft carrier like thing docked at the end of a parking lot just south of the Bay Bridge. It's not the USS Hornet, anyone know?

It looks like a Wasp Class Amphibious Assault Ship to me. The Navy uses them to land Marines and carry helicopters. I think it says either 5 or 6 on the side meaning it's the USS Bataan or the USS Bonhomme Richard.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
