All we need to know is that it mysteriously sank.

There was a time when we launched several ships a day from each of our many shipyards.

There is really no such thing as a stealth ship, unless you are talking about a submarine.

Here's the dirty little secret no navy talks about.

It doesn't matter how stealthy is your ship

You can't hide a wake

Here's a satellite image.

Looks like an Aegis class cruiser or DDG.

Ouch! that is way more than I need to know.

I never thought that I would see or read a sentence describing a ship/vessel/boat etc like “Moving posteriorly, there is a 48 cell block of....”

Who writes this stuff?? Posteriorly, huh?

These can be destroyed by torpedoes fired from subs. They actually strike from underneath and into the guts of the ship. Sadly the Clinton administration sold the chicoms all they need to do the same to ours. Think about this though, from a global economic perspective. If China or Russia actually defeated us in a war, who the hell would they sell their stuff to? Nobody wants a war.

This is cruiser tonnage. Call it what you wish.
