    Was going to ask if that's the USS Reagan but saw it in the file name.

    I think they lean "out" of the turn don't they? Ships I mean..?

    That's not knee down mate, that's like a cruiser taking a corner - even the foot pegs aren't on the ground . Let us know when the flight deck reaches the water - then it's gonna become interesting

    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    I knew a guy years ago went out on British destroyers...first time he tried to walk through one of the below deck corridors when the ship was in a turn, he found he couldn't walk "upright" - got real worried 'cause he kept falling over, not realising that his "upright" was in relation to the corridor he could see which of course was tipped way over and not in relation to gravity...

    Apparently it is conducting rudder checks, October 2007.

    I am pretty sure the next picture has the flight deck alot closer to the water than that one. If I remember correctly it was a turn at flank speed. Pretty impressive.

    When I saw the title I thought " shouldn't that be 'getting BOTH knees down? ' "
