This is the Hospital Ship USNS Mercy (T-AH-19) docked in San Diego, California. Apparently this was the ship that provided a great deal of medical aid to the recent tsunami victims. There’s lots more information and good photos available at navsource.org.

I think this counts as large type, don’t you?

    Just west of the Golden Gate bridge near San Francisco is a cargo ship sailing out into Pacific Ocean.
