  1. Thanks for the image, SJS! Just set it as my background on the work ‘puter!

  2. So did I, Byron. I commissioned RAMAGE back in 1995 and a fine warship she is. Fair Winds, Red Thunder.

  4. 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.
