I think Admiral, but which one? (I'm not Navy) Good question, now I see the context. The FReeper canteen folk can probably answer (thats why I pinged KIA but she gets busy).
But I still think my answer is funny (and remember, Capt Kirk was an Admiral at 37 when Picard was taking his first command). But of course IMHO.

Clinton forgot it quicker than anyone else!
To: Happy2BMe
The scale of this technology is stunning, almost as stunning as the Clintons/Gore dereliction.
A good reminder of the Dem-Politburo's national defense policy.
We're short of armored Humvees because of the Clintons/Gore administration. Tonight I heard on local news that we have but one factory up-armoring those wagons. No wonder.
Kerry is a sham and dangerous, just another Frenchman who marries for his money. 2 bits says he would put Hillary on the SCOTUS, Chief Justice. International socialism and its elite fascism needs the Democrats' elite in power.

I hadn't seen these pics; thanks for posting them. Amazing. I would be in awe to see the USS Cole, much less that heavy transport ship.

Great series of pictures. That transport ship is amazing. And it is amazing what our guys did to keep the USS Cole afloat. Thanks, free, for the ping.

It pains me to no end to know that Ronald Reagan can no longer witness CVN-76 joining the fleet. Same for missile defense.

Yes, I am retired Air Force. I had never worked around Navy and couldn't remember what a Navy O-6 rank looked like. I was thinking a ship captain could be a higher rank than an O-6.

From the size of that hole, you have to give giant credit to the damage control guys that kept her from completely sinking. A salute to them, and to those that died.

I believe you are correct.
Also the captain of a smaller ship could be lower than an O-6"
