Then, She Was Launched!

I think it is incredible to be able to see the wave in this photo. This is truely the very moment she was launched. I can almost hear the Splash! as she readys herself for service to her country. This photo brings tears to my eyes.

I reduced the size of this photo to 50% for faster loading time. Click here to view the photo at 100% size. The details in the larger photo are even more incredible.
