    Another cool photo from my Grandfather


    I can't read the life ring that would tell me the battle ship this came from my Grandfather was on a few of them until he got on the USS Saratoga that ship was ether the second or third aircraft carrier in the US Navy look at some of the things this guys did for a photo you could not do that in today's Navy they would have safety harness on you if you were up on the king post or mast a real cool photo.
