Under the Bridge ∞
Aircraft carriers were once a common sight along the waterways beneath Golden Gate Bridge. For more than a century, the Bay Area was ringed by a handful of large Navy bases and shipyards that together served to shelter and repair a significant chunk of America’s Pacific Fleet. The last of those bases closed during the 1990s, however, and with them the Navy’s presence in the region all but disappeared. In 2006, however, the USS Nimitz paid a rare visit to San Francisco as part of the city’s annual Fleet Week festival, and I managed to arrange a visit to the ship as it sailed into town. A cruise under the Golden Gate Bridge is always memorable, but to see it from the perspective of a flight deck lined with Navy warplanes was a very unique way to recall the city’s nautical history.
