USS Topeka being awesome... far, far away

The Navy recently posted some really cool photos of the sub Justin is on.  They were in the Bay of Bengal participating in Exercise Malabar ("MALABAREX" - because it wouldn't be the Navy if they didn't try to make it look like a crazy acronym) with a carrier, cruiser, destroyer, and some Indian Navy ships.  Here are a couple of my favorite photos:

I looked at a map and wondered... "how far away can 2 people possibly be from each other?"   Turns out there is a word for that. Antipode.  The antipode of Boston is somewhere off the coast of Australia, in the Indian Ocean.  He is pretty dang close to being as far away as possible!

EDIT (4/26): For hi res photos, search Malabar at:  http://www.navy.mil/search/photolist.asp Searching Topeka comes up with a couple from their sendoff too!
