Photo/video flight for the newly minted USNS John Canley, setting sail from the shipyards just south of downtown San Diego. We flew doors off, low level over the Bay, following and circling along as she sailed out to sea.
The all-white USNS Mercy, one of two hospital ships in the U.S. Naval fleet, can be seen on the far left; the Canley is next to it backing out into the bay, and several ships in various build stages in the foreground. At the top right of the photo is Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, home to the U.S. Navy Seal Team.
