us battle ship

US war ship USS GARY (FFG 51)frigate was having a port called to Kota Kinabalu Port since yesterday. This frigate will be leaving the port this coming Saturday (April 15) for "undisclosed" operation around the region.

This was my 4th time on board US war ship, the 1st time was around 1986 in Brunei (detail can't remember).

For the last 8 months, i have visited 3 war ship including this.

During August 2005, a high speed vessel was here.

March 2006, i went on board the latest, well equiped Destroyer USS Chung-hung.
