I went to Maui and I saw them at Black Rock. Anyone know if it is possible for Canadains to get collecting permits? I saw two Golden Dwarfs morays in about ten feet of water and would have killed for a permit.

I think that is a frigate I don’t know what nation it is from I would guess the US though

if you have a hull number you can look it up on the US navy web site.

Looks like a Ticonderoga class to me

Glad that you had a good time on your trip Matt.

The captain and the rest of us ruled out missle ship. We thought it was a Frigate or PT Boat. Its number was 70.

Did you snag any pics of local hot babes? Haha.

Whooohoo I win, if the number was 70 here she is

"USS Lake Erie (CG-70) was built by Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine. The USS Lake Erie's Keel was laid on 6 March 1990 and she was launched on 13 July 1991. Upon completion of her sea-trials after construction, Lake Erie transferred to the Pacific Fleet and was commisioned on 24 July 1993 as the twenty-fourth TICONDEROGA Class Guided Missile Cruiser in her homeport of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. USS Lake Erie was the first US Navy warship to be commissioned in Hawaii. "

nope the brown tang is the native tank to the Hawaiian islands, the yellow tang can come from all over and just collected through Hawaii. so Christmas islands ect on boats that return to Hawaii and ship from there.

Not to say there isn't any but they are not as common of a tang in Hawaii as people thing because they see them included on Hawaiian shipments.

I went to Oahu in June and saw yellows everywhere. They were swarming around the docks and marinas so I actually saw them more from land than when I was snorkelling.

BTW, great pics Matt. I know from experience how difficult it is to get a good shot with all the goggles and adrenaline getting in the way.
