Aircraft Carrier size Bravo Zulu, to the CO's Officers,Warrants Chiefs, Petty Officers and Sailors of all three ships.

I contend that if the ships had responded in any other way, the floating imams would have won.

[RightWhale]

We got that, thanks. The guns were about a second from being fired.

[cmsgop]

Right On, US NAVY Kicks A$$ !!!!!

[marktwain]

Thanks for the insight. Freerepublic exclusive!

[Doctor Raoul]

Is it true that the battle flag of the USS Ingraham is a black leather miniskirt and a leopard print top one size too small?

(after throwing boxes).

I've heard of throwing down the gauntlet, but this is a new one. Perhaps something lost in translation, as in "the mother of all wars."

"OK American devils, that does it! We're throwing boxes!"

[Doctor Raoul]

BTW, I met Grace Hopper when she was still Captain Hopper.

[Trueblackman]

I could not post the full extent of the details, Operation Security, but what a**holes choose to go up against a modern Cruiser, Destroyer and Frigate? In some places that is called target practice!!!

[Free State Four]

Thanks for the report, Trueblackman. Does it feel wonderful to render the MSM absolutely irrelevant?

[tet68]

responded in the best tradition of the United State Navy.

Like the professionals they are, God bless and keep them.

[Trueblackman]

I could tell but then......You know the rest and how are you Doc?

[SandRat]

FRWN UPDATE!

[ThreePuttinDude]

Well thank you very much.
Now I’m going to have those dreams again.

How the hell am I going to explain this to the
Mrs. this time....dang it

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Never completely believe anything reported in the mainstream media about our military. What is necessary to know will be made known through military channels to those with a need to know.

I wish the media would just stay the he!! out of our armed forces.

She spoke at my college graduation...:)

A very eloquent, charming and down to earth lady.

[RightWhale]

It might make one wonder if Iran would be interfering with oil traffic all the time except for the US Navy. It is a lot more militarily active in the Gulf than we hear that’s for sure.

[tillacum]

Happy to hear the real news, and not the clap trap the msm bilge forth.

[HungarianGypsy]

Of course the media messed things up. A lot like when the KittyHawk tried porting in China. Only half the story got out.

[Trueblackman]

Yeah that is why the crewmembers are so angry, because of the misreporting that MSM is doing. I told my friend I will post thru FR to get some word to family members who may know a Freeper or lurk here.
