My late father was on the USS TEXAS, 1944-1946. I miss him so much. God bless America ❤

I'm in Sharm El-Sheikh and the islands in the Red Sea, all of Egypt, are more than wonderful. Long live the country of Egypt and our Egyptian neighbors with great civilizations from Chad🇪🇬🇷🇴❤

I’ve been through the straits of Hormuz i’ve been on the Indian ocean with little tiny, sail boats at the middle of the ocean. Don’t even know how they got there, but I’ve never been on the Suez.

USS Bataan is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship in the United States Navy. The ship's name is taken from the Battle of Bataan that took place in the Philippines during World War II, I really enjoyed its beauty and majesty.

I was on the maiden voyage in 99. Plank owner. I was there the first time she dug the ditch. I still have my patch.

[@TheRecipientsofHonor]

[@NickGonsalves]

I remember doing this on its maiden voyage, Plank owner :-)

[@ws7295]

Looks like it hasn't changed much since I was there aboard LHA1 USS Tarawa in 05

[@chastidymann4370]

[@walterbing2536]

[@georgeadams3954]

Bravo Zulu threw the Suez everyone ;)

[@Arthur-ke9vz]

I have my dads dusty when Japan surrendered. They were terrified on those ships.

[@djxu666webradio2]

[@wdwerker]

I wonder how fast they can react if attacked in the Canal Zone ?

[@dropdeadinc.customtattoo2537]

Any drag shows going on on-board?

[@courtneylupo8797]

GO NAVY 🇺🇸♥️🤺🔥🚁

[@ShowemRight]

I would for readiness have a couple of Helicopters from that ship airborne while it transits the 12-16 hours through the canal. I know our vessels have armaments on board, but lets be honest, were at our most vulnerable going through any canal; Go NAVY.
