Isn't this the ship that, about six months ago, was described as so problem-plagued and bug-riddled that it might never be able to enter full service as a combatant?

We have an LCAC out on the San Antonio right now. I was going to go but we sent another tech out instead. She needed the trip more then I did. It is a cool looking ship, I can't wait till it gets back so we can hear about it.

Congratulations to San Antonio!

I've been trying since 1974 to get a ship named after the city, since its the ONLY city in the top twenty-five NOT to have at least one, if not four or five, ships named after itself. Phoenix, Boston, Corpus Christi, Houston, Dallas, El Paso, Austin, Alamogordo, ..... Everybody EXCEPT San Antonio!
Thought we had a chance when Tower was set to become SecDef under Reagan, but the demo's torpedoed that nomination. (What did Kennedy criticize him for? Womanizing, I think?)
