USS Theodore Roosevelt berthed near Ryde in the Solent by Graham Reading Photography

USS Theodore Roosevelt makes an imposing entrance (photo gallery)

As reported at the beginning of the weekend, the 100,000 tonne USS Theodore Roosevelt arrived in the Solent yesterday (Sunday).

As you’ll be able to see from some of the photos that have been shared with OnTheWight, the US aircraft carrier really is quite enormous. As we as shots from the coast, there also shots from the air (thanks Matt).

We love this brilliant shots shared with OnTheWight by Graham Reading Photography.
