It cost $2,000,000 when Obama left his Vacation to attend a Bachelor Party in D.C.
Obama Vacations from his Vacations. That’s a new one.
(Musta really sucked to be a Chippendale's guy that night!)
I assume the Japanese Workers who screwed this up will be committing mass Suicide due to the shame they have brought upon Themselves, their Families, their Employer and their Nation.
The guy who had the Bachelor Party isn’t Gay.
It’s actually worse, he is Marrying a Gal that works for MSNBC.
The flight deck wears from normal use and weather just like a road surface. All flight decks get resurfaced on a regular schedule and is typically contracted at the ships local port. Out of schedule resurfacings occur when abnormal damage (accidents, etc) occur. In this case it will likely be bad mix, improper prep, or contamination. Given it was surface flaking it is likely mix or contamination - sumitomo will do again at no charge and lose some smaller ship work to Yoko and other ports for a short time.
Thanks for the prompt correction. I was misinformed.
“Definitely his fault we had NO deployed carriers in the pacific when the Chinese buzzed the P8.”
I refuse to consider Red China a threat while freighters full of their lead-painted junk are offloading here; this is nonsense. We continue to strengthen them evey minute with trade; seems silly to pretend we’re enemies at this point. Our enemies are internal, the paid pawns of Red China’s leadership (starting with the communist president in the White House).
That, and plus, I bet it was a rush job, with the limited number of ships now available for duty. Clear indication of the Navy’s deterioration in readiness.
That would have been USS Bonhomme Richard (CV-31),
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
We used to ‘call’ her “Bonnie Dick”, the USS Kearsarge (CVS33) was the “Queer Barge”
That was before the word Gay means what it means today
There was a DD named Brinkley Bass (DD887) and one night someone painted over the two B’s...
Of course the ‘other’ name was supposedly reserved for use by the crew members and they could very quickly turn into ‘fighting words’...
Usually the Japanese shipyards do a pretty good job with the repairs they do. I sailed in Independence back in the late nineties and they kept that old boat running. We did have a non-skid issue on our last cruise but that was because we were given a 4 day notice to get underway for what turned out to be a 5 month deployment.
Lowest bidder.
I’m sure the other Chef, the Gay one who left his Gig at The Spite House is already involved. LOL
Nothing like the sound of a deck grinder taking up non skid. Right? Huh? I said Nothing like the sound of a deck grinder taking up non skid. Right? Huh? LOL I loathed that sound especially a deck below the hanger bay. That will be the major time consumer on this unless they have a faster way now.
**Just wanted to clarify for the younger Freepers that there has been more one Bon Homme Richard.**
Well, it was news to me too.
Every once in a while I would check out the flight deck just to make sure nobody had painted “please drops chains here from 2200-0600 daily” above my stateroom.
thanks for posting the picture of Sasebo where I was stationed from Aug 69 to May 71. My oh my has it changed.
""One gen-u-ine Hari Kari knife. Maybe some of you have a use for it. Feel free to pass it around."
FUBAR
LOL...I had three cruises right underneath the wires...I still remember hearing the planes as they approached, then...WHAM!
The sound of the cables running out, then hearing them retracted back into place finally going “click...click...click” as they cam to rest on to top of the metal thingies that pushed them a few inches off the deck!
Over, and over, and over again!
