Scene on the Sound: escorts maneuvering around sub

Text and photos by Jan Hansen

This US Navy submarine quickly headed out in the late afternoon on Friday, November 8, 2019 at a speed of 15 knots.

At the  mid channel buoy, her two escorts changed positions between forward and aft. From in front of the bow, it was a speedy 180 turn to the west to take position off the stern; there is enough wake to view the course of the maneuver.

Or you can just focus on the foliage!
