USS Ohio Pictures

Via the subreport, we have a slideshow of the Ohio. I recommend the pictures, but, you all may find the captions on them funny, as did I. For example:

• ABC compares the Ohio to an underwater version of an aircraft carrier.
  
• Without the aircraft.
• They say she's a new class of submarines built from 1970's vessels.
  
• I guess they technically are a new class, and the Ohio was launched in mid-1979 and they were designed in the '70s, but, I always thought of them as '80s vessels.
• Crew members monitor displays in the "navigation room."
  
• Looks surprisingly like the control room, and the specific area in question the helm. Anyway, I guess you sort of "navigate" from here. Do Ohio's have a NavCenter??
• Finally, in a product from a major news organization, they managed to use the word "rejiggered." And here is the rest of it.

Video of USS Ohio in Busan

I actually can't believe the Ohio is only now making it's first port visit, to Busan, South Korea. Enjoy the short Navy video, here, and an article in Stars and Stripes. I was actually surprised that the Ohio has never visited a foreign port, having been to Venezuela (pre-Chavez) and Barbados on the Floating Palace. And here is the rest of it.
