The ad runs fine, however.

How many times are they going to christen this ship?

[Third Order]

works for me.

Yeah we watched the video. My husband, who served 6 yrs in the Navy (2000-2006) took one look at that bottle bouncing off in the first attempt of the break and said, ‘I’d NEVER sail on that ship’

One of the reasons I HATE to post is because of smart ass remarks like this. I searched, doggone it. Nothing came up. I thought it interesting.

Sorry to offend the posting police.

Thanks for the post! I hadn’t seen the video! It was great!

Once fully commissioned, this is what she will look like...the USS New Orleans, LPD 18:

This is a new class Amphibious Assault vessel, a Landing Platform Dock (LPD). The USS New York is the fifth ship, LPD 21. The first four were the:

USS San Antonie, LPD 17
USS New Orleans, LPD 18
USS Mesa Verde, LPD 19
USS Green Bay, LPD 20

I would rather they take the steel and make bomb casings to drop on Al Queda targets.

We TRIED to beat our swords into plowshares. Our enemies refuse to let us. So now our plowshares become swords in the name of the defense of freedom all over.

You IDIOTS just never learn.

I would rather they take the steel and make bomb casings to drop on Al Queda targets.

Or nuke carrying cruise missiles.

I hope they named it the U.S.S. F*ck Obama.

Prayers for the families.

Your article has a different headline than the other one, so it is a bit harder to find in a search. I would accuse the police of false arrest here.

BTTT

I thought for sure we would have sold that steel to the Chinese to make tools for us to buy from them. Or for them to make their new navy with.

They are the type of people that stand back outside an organization (never risking being a part to where they may be exposed to criticism as well) waiting to be the first to tell others they are wrong. Ticks me off too. If I were the CEO they would be the first to go.

Regarding #12 I had a Ted Kennedy/MSNBC moment and typed Obama for Osama.

[grey_whiskers]

Please see the typo of Post #12 this thread -- I mistyped 'Obama' for 'Osama' -- a lot of that going around lately, such as MSNBC and Ted Kennedy.

Please revise or delete at your discretion.

Cheers!
