I go there twice a year and my favorite venue is to board the Victory Rover habour cruise from Town Point in downtown Norfolk. It's a 2-hour cruise along the Elizabeth River to NOB Norfolk and back. Apart from the naval vessels, you can also witness quite a few movements of tugs and merchant ships from close at hand. At this time of year, there are two daily cruises, one at 11am and the other at 2pm. If you're familiar with my postings on this site, you must have seen the numerous pickings from my trips there.
Naturally as mentioned above, the best spot is still the fishing pier at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. as you get to see all movements in and out of Hampton Roads. From early afternoon to evening the sun is on the right side for good shots.
Cheers,
Marc
