[Tilted Irish Kilt]

At the rate of decline of the military ,
PT-109 will be one of the 'Heavy Crusers' of the modern Navy.

In 1975 I went to sleep on the USS Reeves (DLG 24) and woke up on the USS Reeves (CG 24).

We tied up outboard of the Oklahoma City, a light cruiser, and despite our recent (and bogus) designation as cruiser, we looked like their captain’s gig.

They do that to disguise the shrinkage of the Navy.

And yes, we still need battleships and cruisers, vessels that can provide big-time NGFS.
