It seems they get these visits often, but pictures of it are quite rare, a very nice catch!

I had the same experience at the USS Constellation (2001). Only then the Iranian came up from behind the tower and we noticed it too late to shoot it. Damn, that hurts !!
Well done to you.

ciao Iwan
yes to be honest I was luck.
We spent more than one hour in the morning to shoot the trainig fire exercise in the hangar bay and in various dept ( very boring). I asked to go oin the flight deck to shoot maintenance operation and as soon I started to walk on the flight deck I noticed a smoke trail coming along the ship. I waited and I saw the P 3. Luckily I had the telephoto and with 200 mm I shot it. It passed at quite close the ship, and two SH60 helos that were on lfight were recovered quickly. They told me that Is not really unusual to have Iranian visitor but not so close.!!!!
