FNS Var & Nivose

(Blog Update For November 2006)

This was wayyyy long time ago...forgotten to post these cool photos. I didnt have my S2 on the day, so was using this really crappy office camera...

Well, I was invited to go on board a French Navy Vessel called Var & Nivose. Can't really remember which is which but one of them is the one with the 5 docking ports to pump fuel onto empty vessels that are in the waters...as in those battle ships / cruisers in the sea. Of course la..so this ship here has all the supplies and what it does is that it travels all around to fill up empty tanks.

The other ship, is a recon ship...has a helicopter on board and that's about it. And of course all the canons and ground to air missiles n all that...well i'm kinda in a rush will post more photos later bout this trip :)

This is what the FRENCH GIGN would usually use...

The Panther helicopter stationed inside the ship.

That's me together with the heli...i'm so small compared to the rotor.

They can be quite funny too in here :P

Not forgetting the petrol cables...

What's a ship without its battle weapons / stations.
