On recent adventure to the Naval Yard in Philadelphia I stumble upon some relics of ole.   These once beautiful vessels carried missions beyond our local docks.

It stands majestic anchored to shore.   It is quiet but the battle wounds are apparent.   It sits quietly at rest while others are adorned.

As I wondered through the shipyard, I came upon a massive unmistakable vessel.   This carrier stood proud above me.    It took my breathe away as I was drawn to its details.   I could not get much closer but took the time to marvel in its size and appearance.

No name or markings could be found as it sat anchored to shore.   Its time has passed and what stories it would have told.
