Photo of the Day: Shock Test 2

A new picture up on navy.mil of the USS Mesa Verde (LPD 19) shock test. Good idea, whoever came up with it. We had wanted to talk about expeditionary warfare this week but between the New Orleans INSRUV and leaving the reporters on the pier for the San Antonio rear gate issue, its been hard to find good news. Recycling good news with photography is clever, assuming Mesa Verde is still floating. Great Photo, but we note the caption editor slept during geography.
