In dealing with large ships ie: aircraft carriers, it must take miles for a complete turn...I am an old lady and could figure that out...but perhaps you have more info than I. How long does it take to turn one of those large ships...Interested because my son was on several but never asked him..(back in the late 70’s early 80’s)

You’re right. After the “activists” get their boat cut in half, of course they cry to a sympathetic media about the horrible mean Navy. They’re well-funded by all kinds of govt. and leftist money, so they go after the captain and try to sue him personally (since suing the US Navy gets them absolutely nowhere, and even if they won, it would take literally 20 years). Bunch of dogs. On second thought, why give dogs a bad rap?
