Today was an amazing day in Santa Barbara during my fashion photo shoot with my good friend Caressa. Caressa had always been eager to test her skills as a model and today I gave her a chance to show off her modeling talent. She did an amazing job considering it was her first time modeling! We headed out to the beach to capture some fun poses with one of the largest ships in the world, the USS Ronald Regan, as a back drop before heading over to the top of the bell tower at the Santa Barbara court house. At the top of the tower we ran into some sailors who were eager to strike a pose with a Santa Barbara super model!
The 411:
USS Ronald Reagan with a crew of over 3,000 Sailors arrived in Santa Barbara on Jan. 11th for a scheduled port visit, offering Sailors a chance to enjoy tours, special events, and the downtown scene in Santa Barbara. The ship displaces approximately 95,000 tons of water fully loaded, has a top speed of over 30 knots, powered by two nuclear reactors driving four screws, and can sail for over 20 years before needing to refuel. It is is nearly as long as the Empire State Building is tall at 1,092 feet (333 m) and is 134 feet (41 m) wide at the beam and has a flight deck 252 feet (77 m) wide. The flight deck covers over 4.5 acres (18,000 m²). She carries more than 5,500 sailors and over 80 aircraft. The ship is the winner of the 2006 Battle "E" for West Coast carriers.
