We visited my parents in Portsmouth yesterday. By pure coincidence HMS Queen Elizabeth and USS The Sullivans were in port and left while we were there.

Due to the timing of the tides they left at night, it was about 2100 when the Americans left and 2140 when the Brits did, so it was darker than the photos imply.

Loved 'em and the cartoon strip inside! Jealous of the Yanks being able to save up the jokes and send them off with a couple of $$s for the interesting stuff!
