from article: Investigators also found information on Ahmad's computers showing the vulnerability of the battleship to an assault by a small craft of men armed with rocket-propelled grenade launchers.

The USS Benfold is a guided missile destroyer, not a battleship. The US Navy doesn't have any active battleships for that matter.

I hope this traitor gets the maximum sentence, too bad the Navy no longer has planks or does keelhauling.

Of course you are right, but it is interesting to note that the USS Arizona was never decommissioned as is therefore I believe technically the only "active" battleship in the US Navy. IIRC the USS Constitution is also still on the roster

We don't keelhaul or walk the plank any more, but we do have blanket parties. Let his shipmates take him on liberty in Bahrain or Yemen and send a blanket along. He'll wish he was just keelhauled after everyone gets through kicking and punching everything that sticks out.
