Out by the Waipio Soccer Complex where we're playing our games, there's a bay where the Navy is storing some of its mothballed ships. Here's one of several amphibs anchored there. I left the original photo fairly large. I think the clouds give it some drama. It might be worth a click to see the bigger version.
