I do call the 50-300mm 4.5 ED the pirate lens, great for capturing ships in the bay.

It is funny that the most powerful weapons on earth need a little boat for force protection.



Pretty sure Chilean Submarine. Either the SS-20 or SS-21. (Type 209) diesel electric.

I thought that was the latest Texan mini-Sub!

Yeah, the flag is what almost had me thinking Texas too. Very close. But the submarine was too short for the Texas Navy.

Four modern submarines that would be able to fly the Texas flag (unofficially). The Virginia Class - USS Texas SSN-775, and three Los Angles Class - USS Houston SSN-713, USS Dallas SSN-700, and USS City of Corpus Christi SSN-705 (all three now decommissioned). I was on the commissioning crew of the City of Corpus Christi.
