I've always liked the way the Navy quotes speed of a vessel. 25+ knots, hmm! I know that US subs are not as fast as their Russian counterpart but I think they go a little faster than 25.....
We can't give away any secrets now, can we?

 

Here's a few of pictures from our last takeoff of the exercise. We flew against the South Carolina Air Guard.
1st picture is one of our NEW F-15C. It is a 79 model.
2nd is an A taxiing out of the Alert barn.
3rd is they are heading for the runway.
4th is another one of our OLD A models (75).
And last is the Ford Superduty that we transported the Chaff and Flare in.

This is what I work on:

GE LM2500 Gas turbine engine. Without this all those jets everyone posted would not go anywhere. The Navy uses these to propel a few class ships.
