This picture was taken on a British Royal Navy Type 42 Destroyer HMS York, why then is the author the US Navy?

This picture is clearly on the dockside!

RE: above. This is a US-developed weapon system, and was probably tested aboard the York by the Royal Navy. US Navy personnel often work with their counterparts in other countries, so the fact that this is a US Navy photo isn't surprising at all. I am a former US Navy technician, and provided technical assistance aboard the HMS Ark Royal in the 1980's, and I TOOK PICTURES.

RE: All of you: Anyone else notice the stars and stripes on the mast in the background? That means the photo was taken at a US facility. That, combined with the logo on the unit (a white rose) tells us that the HMS York is over on our side of the pond to be fitted with the system. Johnny Wishbone (talk) 17:24, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
