When I was a kid in San Francisco, I remember my Dad taking me to fleet week. That's when the Navy comes into the San Francisco Bay to show off their wares. Climbing through that giant aircraft carrier with my Dad was the coolest thing in the world. The week culminated with a fantastic show by the Blue Angels as they would fly their F-18 Hornets through the highrises. Today, 30 years later, I was invited for a tour of the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan as it is now docked just outside Hong Kong harbor. It's crazy to me that 5000 people live on this ship for months at a time. Even though this aircraft carrier is large, I'd probably go crazy but getting to explore this ship made me feel like a kid again.
Planes are stored below deck and then are wheeled out the side here where the platform rises up very quickly and they are pushed out onto the flight deck. We rode the elevator up and it literally took less than 3 seconds to move the 40 or so feet up top.
Today they had most of the plane up on deck. Pretty impressive sight.
Jet fighters tyically do not have enough runway space to take off by themselves so this track catapults the plane off the deck reaching speeds of 300km/h in 3 seconds. I wouldn't want to be standing on that thing when it goes off.
The butthole of an F-18 Hornet. One fart will turn you into ash.
The sign says Cryogenics plant in operation. I immediately had to ask if they were freezing people and storing for the future but they said it was just the refrigeration system for the ship.

我記得小時候在舊金山，我爸帶我去參加過“艦隊週”慶典。這是美國海軍在舊金山海灣展示其裝備的一個活動。和老爸一起登上那巨型的航空母艦真是世上最酷的事了。一周的活動在“藍天使”飛行隊的精彩表演中達到頂峰：他們駕駛著F-18“大黃蜂”戰鬥機穿越高層建築。 30年後的今天，我應邀參觀近日泊於香港的“裡根”號航空母艦。我覺得真是不可思議，這艘大船一次可容納五千多人在上面連續生活數個月。雖然航母有夠巨大，我恐怕還是會瘋掉。不過得以在這艘大船上探奇讓我感覺又回到了兒時。
飛機停放於下層船艙。它們滑行到這邊後，此處的平台會非常快速地升起，將他們推向飛行甲板。參觀時我們乘電梯上去，約摸40英尺的高度真地只花了不到3秒的時間。
今天他們將大部分飛機都停在甲板上。真是令人印象深刻的景緻。
通常情況艦上的跑道空間不夠讓噴氣式戰鬥機自己起飛，而這個軌道可將飛機彈射起飛，3秒鐘內就能達到300公里的飛行時速。起飛時我可不想站在那兒。
F-18大黃蜂的P眼。它放個P可夠把你整成炮灰了。
指示牌上寫著“低溫設備運行中”。我馬上就問裡邊是不是有人被冷凍起來可以活到未來的。但他們說這只是艦艇的製冷系統。
