Where'd they go?

Well, the links take me to jellytoast.wordpress.com. I can't see a link from there to the photos of a new ship. Can you provide a more direct link?

“Surprised Obama hasn’t cut it yet”

Give the Dear Leader Present Radar Ears and his First Lady Bonk time.
They’ll get around to it.

No, it's American. ...The Chineses just OWN it, that's all.

The LCS 1 &2 are great ships, but unfortunately, the congress has cut the funding for new ships. I guess Acorn needs the money more.

Thank Bush for this! Surprised Obama hasn't cut it yet!

Obama didn't need to cut it, Bush cut it. Funding for all the LCS's after Independence was cut because of cost overruns. The Navy is going to re-bid them.

Strange hull design. Is it a hydrofoil?

Jeeez. Only one five-inch gun? That’s it?

400 million for that?

Best,
