The “Reserve Fleet”

Posted on June 9, 2011 by Chuck Hill

Interesting photos and story by three photographers about their extended unauthorized stay aboard ships of the Reserve Fleet in Suisun Bay, California. Among the ships there, is the old icebreaker, USCGC Glacier (WAGB-4) readily identifiable by her red hull.

Thanks to the Naval Institute Blog for bringing this to my attention.
