Nice pictures taken... U mentioned abt the two ex-county class LSTs that were berth at the easten pier. Well, of course they were not part of the displays. The two ships were simply emptied, no equipment onboard, nothing. The two ships were reserved mainly for two purposes. Future gunnery and missile firing and as a dummy vessel during a war.
Another picture abt the 100 ton bollard... not that the bollard is 100 ton heavy. It simply means the bollard can withstand up to maximum 100 tons of pleasure from the berthed ship, therefore even a small aircraft carrier can use the bollard to berth alongside without fear of it flying off. :0)
