USS Iowa departure

Very interesting couple of days.  First, the USS Iowa was suppose to leave the Bay Area to go to its new home in the LA area on the 20th.  That was cancelled because of rough weather along the coast.  (It is being towed, thus the safety of the tow vessels, doubt anything would affect the Iowa.)

Anyway, the exit was delayed until this Saturday.  It was a very nice day for pictures as it left.  Here is one taken from the Marin headlands with Alcatraz in the background.
Also a couple as it approached the Golden Gate Bridge.
And finally the Iowa going under the Gate.  Kind of sad since the Bay Area tried three times to get the Iowa here; twice in San Francisco.
