Day 250/22. An unexpected neighbour...

Early morning arrival into Visby on the swedish island of Gotland.
An unexpected neighbour in the port is the USS Arlington.
It is not everyday you see 3 x Blackhawk helicopters out of your window...... See extra pictures to see how our cruise ship towered over the Arlington.

USS Arlington (LPD-24), a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock, is the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for Arlington, Virginia, the location of the Pentagon and the crash site of American Airlines Flight 77 during the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001. Like her sister ships, USS New York and Somerset, she is named in commemoration of the attacks. Steel taken from the Pentagon after the attacks is displayed aboard in the ship's museum.
