@kairospix: thanks, kairospix. i don't know what these boats were for - since they are with the navy i just think of them as floating cities!

@Richard_Irwin: Thank you! Sometimes I find it difficult to figure out how to compose a photo (most times, actually).
@Lorraine: Thank you Lorraine!
@DaveB: Thanks! This was in Guam, where the sky is nearly always perfect blue.
@Earnest: When the sky is that blue and the grass is that green - I didn't have to do much! Thank you for the comment.
@KMF: Thank you, KMF!

I could be wrong --I haven't kept up with Navy stuff for a long time-- but I believe those are some type of amphibious assault ships (not "boats" in nautical jargon). The rear deck lands helicopters and the stern apparently swings down to allow landing craft to embark or disembark.

@Twelvebit: You are probably correct, Twelvebit, and thanks for the info. We weren't there when they docked, only passed by later. They were certainly BIG!
