The US Navy is ready for trouble, that I can tell you. Vessels in order of appearance: USS Coronado USS Nitze (At night) USS Detriot RIM 166 USS Arleigh USS Eisenhower Russia Launches Against IS 480 USS Detroit MDA FTM- 20 Missile Sea Hawk Helicopter Iskander and SMERCH Launch
Some of those names are certainly mistakes. There are at least two Vertical Launch System equipped AEGIS cruisers in there and none have a name from that list.
don’t know what the first one is other than it is NOT the USS CORONADO
The Mabus/Obama navy is out of business, I don’t suggest this type of surrender in Trump’s Navy.
Looks good, for undermanned, overworked, and stressed out crews ...
The USS Coronado and its crew are probably not ready,

Mobile-built Austal LCS stranded in Singapore (US Navy ship)

An Austal-built Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) and crew are stranded in Singapore because of a change in training standards propelled by a series of recent engineering breakdowns throughout the LCS fleet.
The USS Coronado, built in Mobile nearly five years ago, deployed to the Pacific Rim in June last year to relieve the LCS Fort Worth. The Coronado and its crew were supposed to arrive back in the home port of San Diego by Thanksgiving but could now end up being abroad for an indefinite period as they wait for a relief crew to be trained to the new Naval engineering standard.
The deployment is on schedule to be one of the Navy’s longest in decades, while relatives of the sailors told the Navy Times that it has caused morale issues among crew members and placed pressure on families.
“They were being told April, now they are being told mid-to-late May,” one of the family members told Navy Times Monday in an interview. “Truth seems to be that the replacement crew has made little-to-no progress.”
An astute move would be to install a team of security troops on the stranded ship; off load ship's company to "wherever they want to go."
Morale would improve, and it would signal the rest of the Fleet that there's a new "Sea Lord" on watch!
Just this "Mustang" (former enlisted) Officer's opinion.

Great suggestion!
