Ship modeler, all-around Canadian boat guy (and gov't goon, so usual caveats apply). PhD'd in Norwegian, Danish, and Canadian naval forces: book version coming Soon™️.

A black & white photo of the aircraft carrier Forrestal, with the "Belknap pole" to the left of the image and island towards the right, as seen from the flight deck.

Three photos printed on metal sheets in 8"x12" are laid out side by side on a kitchen island countertop. The leftmost image, in portrait orientation, shows the patrol ship HDMS Lauge Koch facing an iconic mountain near Nuuk, Greenland, during a low midday sun. The middle image, in landscape, shows a distant three-peak mountain rising against sea haze while a narrow serpentine waterway leads to viewer to it between two rocky landmasses. The rightmost image, in portrait, shows a large iceberg shaped like a three-prong crown in front of a brilliant and vivid pink-yellow-lavender sunset.

The pointy black nosecone of a missile appears to have stabbed and taken away the round protective cover of the launch tube following its launch from a vertical position.
