Great source for modern ship pics: Facebook

Just wanted to drop a tip to you ship guys: I've "liked" the Facebook pages of several U.S. Navy vessels on Facebook, because they post some awesome material regarding day-to-day ship operations, especially photographs. Lots of these photos have some fantastic detail you can use for reference shots while building and weathering. The ships I follow are the U.S.S. Enterprise, U.S.S. Carl Vinson, U.S.S. John C. Stennis. Many of the pics they post also include other ships such as DDG's, CGN's, and auxiliary vessels. Lots of aircraft shots too. So if you have a Facebook page, you might find this stuff helpful.
