Good old DDG 51. Lead ship of her class and still going strong. First set sail in 1989 I believe...Her age is definitely showing for sure but she has a couple more decades to go.

Looks like they're fitting her what looks like to be a new smaller island attach could be more radar and communication tower? Anyone else knows what they're doing to the "Ike"?

They are just re-conditioning the island. I do not believe there will be any major changes. Just up-grades.

The Structure just aft of the Island is a Radar Tower it's visible on all Nimitz form CVN 68-75 the USS Ronald Reagan and George W Bush lack that structure as it was integrated into the island.

Like TE said in CVN 76/77 the aft mast has been moved to the main island. The island is also longer and the PriFly has improved visibility as well allowing 270 degree visuals for the people working inside it.

TerraN_EmpirE · May 21, 2014

It's my Opinion that this change, as well as that of the Bulbous bow as well as other improvements make the Ronald Reagan a separate class of CVN then the previous Nimitz class and the successive farther modification of the George W. Bush and the Gerald R Ford class.

It's Fleet Week in NYC. The USN has not posted many photos. I'm hoping a carrier is available to participate. Maybe an LHD. It's been several years since a CVN has been to Fleet Week in NYC.

USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) is at sea in the Atlantic near the Virginia Capes at this time. Maybe she will make an appearance in NYC Fleet Week..

edit... nope no CVN or LHD this year...that is weak!
