Ever wonder what “they” meant when talking about a painted sky?
Wonder no more:
PERSIAN GULF (Dec. 22, 2008) The guided-missile destroyer USS Ramage (DDG 61) transits through the Persian Gulf. Ramage is deployed as part of the Iwo Jima Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) supporting maritime security operations in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations.

Thanks for the image, SJS! Just set it as my background on the work ‘puter!
So did I, Byron. I commissioned RAMAGE back in 1995 and a fine warship she is. Fair Winds, Red Thunder.
What a beautiful photo!!!!
Wow. I had no idea this photo was going to go so viral when I took it. This was one of a whole series I snapped. If anyone wants any others, just email me.
