軍港巡りより。TREASUREとTRANSSHELFの船体形状の違いからくる積載方法の差異が興味深い。

また、付近にはDDG-65「ベンフォールド」やLST-4002「しもきた」が錨泊しており、計らずともコラボレートすることに。 pic.twitter.com/yNaWiQaoPI

Two U.S. Navy destroyers that were crippled in separate collisions this summer arrived in Tokyo Bay this week.

The startling sight is a stark reminder of the collisions the forward-deployed U.S. 7th Fleet endured this year.

The USS McCain and USS Fitzgerald, both Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers, arrived in Tokyo Bay en route to nearby Yokosuka, home of the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet. The USS McCain will undergo repairs in drydock at Yokosuka while the more heavily damaged USS Fitzgerald is conducting a stopover before traveling to Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi for repairs. Ingalls is currently building new Burke destroyers and is the ideal place to repair them.
