Idiot congressman didn't even know that all islands are heavily packed with styrofoam on the underside to make sure they don't sink.
But at least he's well versed enough in hydrostatics to understand that putting all that buoyancy below the waterline results in an unstable hull, prone to capsizing, unlike the ignoramus martinet of an admiral.
Well, the styrofoam keeps them from sinking, but they really need a keel to keep them from capsizing.
I think the Congressman should sponsor a bill entitled:
An Act to Keep Islands on an Even Keel.
The act would provide a stimulus package for building keels under all U.S. territorial islands such as Hawaii, Virgen Islands, Samoa, Guam, etc. and the Dems could tell the public they were focused, as Pelosi said, on three letter words-—jobs, jobs, jobs.
