: Does your buddy like to doctor photos? That looks like trick
: photography... but the USS Carl Vinson would have been in that area -
: returning from a (much hyped) 8-month tour of duty. I think that picture
: is possible from up the hill with a really long lens. I think Carl Vinson
: was deployed to the Korean Penninsula. The water is deep enough; I think
: the picture is authentic.

There's a bit of a shoal that extends due north from Point Wilson. Of course, "shoal" in this case is still about 40 fathoms...out in the actual shipping channel, it's several hundred fathoms. Interesting that it appears to be in "shallower" water and out of the channel. Maybe the sailors were photographing the kayaks!
