An aircraft carrier, which «Louis» was not able to identify, is on San Francisco Bay during Memorial Day weekend. Given its comparatively small size of the ship and the configuration of the bridge, «Louis» guesses this carrier is for helicopters. The daily ship traffic log didn't list any ships from our Navy or any visiting ships from foreign Navies that weekend. The bow of a guided missile cruiser is seen at the right of this image. The guided missile cruiser was not listed in the ship traffic log, either. Seen in the background are the hills of the East Bay.

Those ships are huge!
What a treat to be able to watch from your balcony. Interesting, also, to check ship logs for details of the traffic that passes by you. Your Francophile background is also interesting. Will have to look through your blog to see if you have written about it.
Nice capture!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Beautiful picture. Love the ships, it has been a long time, Even a carrier sailor gets rusty. But I do agree it looks like a Marine support carrier.
Beautiful weather it seems.
Many of your shots make me homesick for the sea, aaand this is no exception!!!! Would love to be aboard either one!!!
Such ships I have never seen in person.
So big, so powerful.
Great photo!
