U.S. Army vessel BRISTOE STATION (LCU 2006) secures the water around one of three Jamestown Settlement replica ships during their transit of the James River. The full-scale replicas of the ships Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery; which brought America's first permanent English colonists to Virginia in 1607, are in Hampton Roads for the start of their journey up the James River to the site of the original settlement. This is part of a signature event celebrating America's 400th anniversary of colonization this month. Photo by MCSN David Shen
