Lincoln in a storm

USS Abraham Lincoln rides out a storm in the Arabian Sea in support of Operation Southern Watch and Operation Enduring Freedom

Definatly striking. Illistrates the weather conditions the carriers endure while on patrol. TomStar81 05:17, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

• Oppose. Flash is overexposed and not very good to see, everything else is pretty dark. If this is a self nom, are you U.S. Navy Photographer’s Mate 2nd Class Aaron Ansarov? Also, I think the image provides little or no value to most articles where it was added (Aerial warfare, Military aviation, U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, Operation Enduring Freedom), except maybe for USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). -- Chris 73 Talk 07:37, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

No, this is not a self nom. Sorry, in the past three days I have been studying like crazy to pass collage finals, and the net result has been decreased sleep, and consequently I have found myself making a lot of stupid mistakes ;) P.S., if anyone knows how to 'submit to the commons instead' please feel free to put this picture there.

At the top of this page there's a box of featured picture tools; in particular, there's a link to commons:commons:Featured picture candidates; that page works like this one. --Andrew 19:46, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

• Submit to commons instead. Doesn't add significantly to any article but is striking. --Andrew 09:14, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
