Wow. Journalists are never wrong. So evidently we have active battleships in the US Navy again. I wonder if they’re in the same ship class as the Mighty Mo.

The US Navy has faced backlash following the revelation that one of its multi-billion-dollar warships on America's east coast has remained docked and 'out of commission' because it's commanded by an officer who refuses to get the COVID-19 vaccine for religious reasons.
An ongoing legal battle between the US' Department of Defense and the unnamed officer has left the battleship docked and unable to deploy, as officials from the military branch look to nix the serviceman for the refusal - despite a federal judge's recent ruling that he can't be fired for declining the vaccine on religious grounds.
On Wednesday, Republican officials reacted with ire to news of U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday's ruling, first reported Friday by Slate.
'Biden's illegal vaccine mandates now actively undermining U.S. national security,' Texas Senator Ted Cruz tweeted Tuesday.
Fellow GOP member Joey Gilbert, a gubernatorial candidate for the state of Nevada, echoed Cruz's stance on the issue.
'According to the Navy, a U.S. destroyer can’t deploy because the commanding officer refuses to get a COVID-19 vaccine' Gilbert said.
'Our country cares more about your vaccine status than our national security.'
The case is part of a class action suit filed in Florida federal court late last year, alleging servicemembers' rights are being infringed upon due to military branches' COVID vaccine mandates, after they were denied religious exemption requests for the jab.

It gets boosted every month.
Daily Mail has been pretty sketchy lately.
I ask what would happen if the commander was gay and refused the vac? pentagon officials would go into overload
Hey, tell the Navy the Covid War is over and the Climate Change War is starting. They should concentrate on converting all their ships to electricity so we can save the planet.
“search still works”
(except on windows for warships)

man, we are gonna get our asses kicked in the next major world wide war.
Don’t worry Brandon took care of corn-pop, he’s got this. /s
So is it a destroyer of a battleship? Are there no literate editors anymore? They can’t even match their own headline to the body of the article.
Not sure, maybe it is an Assault Destroyer
The press doesn’t know a frigate from a leaky row boat or their arse hole from their elbow. They’d be a lot of fun to put on mail buoy watch or to send to bring back an overhead buffer.
Okay so that makes it a Destroyer/Battleship/Amphib (assault) ship. Poor Frigates are always ignored.
Citing Benghazi Clinton ... What difference does it make now? We are way past the initial Wuhan/Fauci virus and all its variations ... the only reason left is to ensure that all military are subjected to poisoning.
Don't forget 10 yards of chow line.
This is f**king madness. The Biteme administration is the worst in American history. A more feckless and inept group has never been assembled. And, what’s worse, it is by design, not accident.
The navy creates its own problems just like President Retard - their leader 🤪
Way back from the past...
“Hey, tell the Navy the Covid War is over and the Climate Change War is starting. They should concentrate on converting all their ships to electricity so we can save the planet.”
Sail, man. Convert everything to sail; it will be so...retro.
Yeah, stack bats and a bucket of blue steam too. The FNG’s got it all.
