Entering Navel station and Elizabeth River to Norfolk and Portsmith

When you make the first turn into the river you begin to see the Navel Yard and the ships that are in dock. They dwarf the buildings around them. I have done my best to identify some of the ships. If I have gotten it wrong please let me know.  It took us about 3 hours to wander down the river gaping at the large ships - we finally dropped anchor on the Portsmouth side of the river and had a bouncy night.
