Looks like the Merrimac docked at the VCCEP.

Ho! Monitor sighted off the port bow steaming from ye olde second narrows! Dam the guns! Look lively now men!

Mr.x2, the Battle of Hampton Roads was the first battle of iron clad warships. The Union Merrimack fought the Confederate Monitor off the coast of Virginia during the US Civil War.

Officedweller, nice reference there.

The Monitor and the Merrimac by Currier & Ives, 1862.:

I had a few more pictures earlier, but I think I accidently deleted them when I was deleting useless pictures... =(

I guess this guy is our next big project to watch, then as its topping out, we will be watching georgia, patina and jameson house and as they go up and ritz carlton will pull up the rear.

Lots of great buildings yet to rise!

I walked by this afternoon and this thing is truly humongous, they sated it was going to be big, but man you feel like a dwarf next to those huge pillars, I also was looking at the last remaining part of the convention centre on the west side , that thing looks like a STEALTH Bomber plane , I guess if war comes it will transformed into a plane under Norad's command! take a look at the photo taken from a member on April 10, when you walk by it is feel like one enters a bunker!
