I noticed that the US Navy commissioned the USS North Dakota, but that it was "SSN" and not an SSBN, meaning it doesn't carry ballistic missiles.
When did they start applying STATE names to. SSNs, which used to have city names, since only ballistic missile subs carried state names?
Nunn not as much as John Stennis or Richard Russell.
Carter latched onto Nunn for his political “lie—ife” Carter a fraud- and Nunn a beltway bandit. Now his lib daughter continues the ruse.
Biggest prob with gals on boats is the old deal with gum in school’
Did you bring enough for everyone?
I believe that man is certifiably 100% insane.
And other uh, personal hygeine issues dealing with sanitary items for disposal and use, that require naval architects to redesign the heads and rack spaces. Seriously. Capabilities for war fighting diminished by architecture and bowing to the “political” requisites of academy grads who “want” to go into subs-— but should NOT for the nation’s sake.
It is NOT a fighter plane with one crew. Much much more at stake.
Well, considering only 1% of the population is homosexual, and NONE of the homosexuals I know would even consider serving, I bet the percentage of homosexuals in the Navy is minute. The media and the administration is out to destroy morale and publicizing this crud is hateful to the military and the majority of our nation.
Come to think of it, why can’t we out law it because it is hateful to the majority? The consequences are horrendous! Same with murdering the preborn. If having babies is a blessing then not having babies is a curse, evil, and not good in any way, sociologically, psychologically, physically, spiritually, politically, economically, etc, etc.
When is Christian academia going to do some true studies on this stuff and have proof for the court, and establish an honorable system that guides people with truth. Prove the Bible is the truth.
What really sucks is they are going to make all the women officers.
The whole crew will be male non coms.
This is gonna be a train wreck.
Hope these ladies know the COB runs the boat.
Gaffer,
I think the other two, Seawolf and Connecticut, have been or are going to be upgraded to the same configuration as the 23 boat. They are all part of Submarine Development Squadron 5 or COMSUBDEVRON5. These three are specially outfitted to carry out special intelligence gathering operations.
LS what was the name of the movie you made about Rock and Roll in The USSR?
The Samizdat thing?
“Rockin’ the Wall” (www.rockinthewallstudios.com Projects: Completed)

Thank you.
In Star Trek star ships had traditional ship names like Enterprise, Valiant etc. However, I also remember is one of the Star Trek series there was a star ships named Crazy Horse. I thought it was quite appropriate to name a fighting vessel after a great Lakota warrior.
Off topic I guess but LS have you seen the AMC series Turn?
It is outstanding
George Washingtons Culper spy ring, the secret 6, we do not know to this day who the 6th was.
I find John Graves Simcoe Fascinating and he was a Redcoat!

Also off topic but the new BBC 2 series “Peaky Blinders” is very good if not historically correct.
