Was the ship even in Yokosuka?
A ship isn’t going to move & hide for something as stupid as this, particularly if it’s undergoing an in port repair availability. Either it’s Fake News or some knothead staff officer at INDO-PACOM is about to lose his job.
Jus wait until thet see what he is going to do to the USS Harvey Milk...
At this point I’m doubting there is a navy.
The S is for Sidney.
So who is lying, the Navy spokesman just said that didn’t happen...they are PROUD of their ship? Must we question everything the media gives us? No wonder people stop paying attention to the “news”...it is all “opinion” and guesswork.
President Trump wouldn’t have given that kind of order out of respect for the men and women aboard the ship.
Thank you........ NOT named after the slug from AZ. WAS indeed his dad. Still not deserved, IMHO.. but no one asked me.
The news slimes can’t even get THAT right. This morning in his little news conference on the way to the helicopter, he said he had nothing to do with that, didn’t know about it. More fake news.
“She is NOT named for the Senator, but for the admiral.”
Makes sense.
Were it named for McButtface, it would be the USS Floating*sshole
True but hell, since we’re tearing down monuments because they were racists, let’s tear off the McCain name because it’s descendant is an asshole.
Should have not gotten so petty. It’s named for that admiral, not the douche-bag.
Trump is not that petty. He would have cared less if the McCain was visible. He may have used the opportunity to take a jab at the deceased ‘war hero’(?)
That is very Japanese and has no political content at all.
“Should have not gotten so petty. It’s named for that admiral, not the douche-bag.”
It didn’t happen.
They needed to add John III due to all the accidents.
The destroyer USS John S McCain was involved in a collision with the merchant ship Alnic MC on 21 August 2017 off the coast of Singapore, which resulted in the deaths of ten of her crew, and left another five injured. This event occurred a little over two months after a collision between USS Fitzgerald and MV ACX Crystal resulted in fatalities.
Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer speaks during a ceremony aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS John S. McCain (DDG 56) to induct U.S. Sen. John S. McCain III into the ship’s official namesake July 12, 2018. Expanding the namesake to include Senator McCain honors his family’s three generations of dedicated service to the U.S. Navy.
I’m pissed at President Trump because he didn’t tell them to scuttle the ship right where it was tied up or anchored so he couldn’t see it...
