Looking for wallpapers
« on: August 29, 2010, 04:20:33 PM »
Okay, so, I'm looking for a good US Navy wallpaper for my computer. I have tried google, in fact just spend an hour and a half on it searching, and found nothing good. I'm not necessarily looking for something with equipment in a picture, but more something dramatic with the anchor, seal, etc. Any specialty badge would be aviation. I am absolutely NOT looking for anything related to the SEALs. Perhaps something like http://s1.hubimg.com/u/1421596.jpg But navy-related. Anyone have anything?

Check the LIFE images?

I used this one of the USS New Mexico for a while.  I'm partial to the clipper bow battleships.  About as US Navy as you can get :)

Here's my current desktop, Its the USS Midway circa early 1980s.



I've got lots of Hi-Res A-6 Intruder and F-4 Phantom Desktops (My favorite Planes).
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I'm trying to stay away from actual photos of equipment. I want something a little more professional looking, i.e., the Anchor or Seal in 3D appearance. Basically, the link I posted would be PERFECT if only it were Navy rather than USMC.

Why on Earth would you want anything other than the original one you posted.  That has to be one of the finest pictures to ever grace the internet. :P

You know that I'm messing with you Serenity.  Good luck in the search, I sure can't find anything.

This is a good site
http://www.1000pictures.com/aircraft/carrier/index.htm

This is one of fav's though, during sea trials.
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

lol. Thanks Xtrepid.

For the record, this is going on a Battalion Laptop overseen by the Air officer, and he doesn't like pictures, lol. He just wanted generic-but-cool Navy.
