Norfolk
Naval Base Tour at the IPMS 2008 Nationals
The 2008 IPMS Nationals were held in Virginia Beach, VA. A perfect venue
for Ship enthusiasts with US Navy ships all over the place. The IPMS
Tidewater crew put together a tour of the Norfolk Naval base and specifically
the USS Leyte Gulf CG-55. These photos show that ship and the ships in
the immediate area. A big thank you to the crew of the Leyte Gulf
for giving us such a fine tour and putting up with us modeling geeks on
their ship. The Vella Gulf was alongside and are featured in some of the
close ups. The rest of the photos are from a drive up and down the piers
showing everything from the big Carriers to the Frigates.
