She leaks, eh? Well, what can we expect anyway for a mere pittance of $4,400,000,000.69? A boat that floats?

Since the Dumbwalt is dead in the water, just send in some iran gunboats and everyone surrenders.

Shouldn’t have laughed at that one as it is too true a statement, but I did. It was funny.
Yet heartbreaking at the same time.

There seems to be a bunch of genius thought going on around here. Actually not an uncommon thing to happen, that is why new vessels go through “trials”. This is a very important step in shipbuilding, intended to reduce the radar signature.

Building a warship is a process that takes years, not like making a new Toyota.
