Thanks you!! Yeah I live in Escondido and work in San Diego. My stepdad is a retired Captain of the Thresher>Permit class submarine, so we get invites to these events like Christening of a new ship regularly.

Well...all the RIMPAC 2014 festivities are over and the ships have all sailed away.

I have looked at hundreds and hundreds of pictures from RIMPAC 2014.

I have to say it was one of the best RIMPACS I have ever kept track of. The Chinese acquitted themselves well, and I believe they learned a lot while there, and also earned a lot of well deserved respect. They are a very squared away group of personnel...sailors.

Here's two of several very impressive pictures of the photo op shots of the at-sea portion, showing all participating vessels. On the far top or left side, the second and fourth ships are the PLAN DDG and FFG...Toward the back of the formation is the PLAN hospital ship and AOR. Use the high res versions to zoom in on them. These pics would make excellent desk tops.

Wow, jzsn, those are GREAT pics. When their carrier visits, I intend to be there...but I really wish I could have been there for this too! Getting on board, getting a good look at those systems and the bridge...wow, very envious! LOL!
