A bit closer.....a bit closer.....a bit closer.........and then a patrol boat comes scooting towards you so you cant get any closer. Friendly tho' gave us a wave and a smile. No guns that we could see. Apart from the HUGE ones mounted on the deck. It was also at about this point that someone mentioned that a carrier battle group usually comprises of the aircraft carrier, some destroyers (spotted one later, see above), some supply boats and..............a couple of submarines. Which were probably monitoring us as we were approaching the carrier.
