Description |
Sailors onboard the HMS Invincible gather on the stern of the 639-foot aircraft carrier as it arrives in Wilmington. The ship, with a crew of over 1200 men, was the largest naval vessel to visit the Port City at the time. Prince Andrew served in a squadron that joined the Invincible during the Falklands War in 1982, but was never a part of the crew. The ship was in town to allow some of the sailors to get their first experience of America. |
