If the purpose of this ship is to defend the 50 states of the US and its Constitution, couldn’t they have found a more suitable name?
To: glorgau
It’s a change. We are now naming them after hotile powers.
To: Red Badger
“X” formerly known as the twitter stern.

So they say. Let’s see how it works when it goes to sea.
To: Red Badger
The configuration provides enhanced maneuverability, efficiency, and safety, as well as acoustic signature reductions across major parts of the submarine's operating envelope This is all well and good, but what about it's carbon emissions???? Have equity considerations been designed into the component????
To: Red Badger
What happens if all four rudders suddenly go “hard to port” in unison?
Where does the Caterpillar Drive fit?

We were fishing on the St. Mary’s River across from King’s Bay Navy Base when a Boomer headed out to sea came by.
IT WAS HUGE. These pics do not do it justice..................

I like how they delivered it pre-rusted. Must be an extra special bonus feature.
