San Diego Naval Pictures

[RubiconNZ]

Hey all,
Finally got round to posting some pictures of a trip to San Diego in January. Some ok pics, some are rubbish (No Ken Duncan sorry), but I was stoked to see one of the Worlds biggest Naval base.
Pic 1: 2 LA's, A Boomer Sail and I am not sure if it is a Seawolf or Virginia but looked good.
Pic 2: is what I am sure is the Gotland.
Pic 3: NAS North Island, I wish the fighter pics came out better
Pic 4: is the derelict Marine Air Station El Toro unbelievable that such facilities sit there empty.


More to come.

Cheers, That was the best $30 I spent on the whole trip a 2 hour cruise in 32 degree weather in winter.
Any idea on that Sub in the 1st post/pic?
Virginia or Seawolf

Not sure. I agree that the two in the foreground are LA's and that an Ohio is dockside of the front one but I can't see enough of the sail in the background. It does appear to have a bit of a slope so I guess it is possible that it is a Seawolf.
