He made them an offer they can't refuse.

Otherwise there are going to be more of these little "accidents".

Maybe it ran into fleeing leadership.

An Iranian tanker going to South Korea insured by a Norwegian company. The plot thickens.

Maybe the Chinese are taking the sanctions on North Korea more seriously than we might have hoped.

For a ship built in 2008, it’s looking rather shabby. But not for long I would guess.

List of stereos to bring home

Yamaha CR-2020 (Have one and its little brother the 1020. Perfection with both of them. Acoustic excellence.)
Pioneer SX-1980
Technics SA-1000
Kenwood KR-9600 (Have it’s baby brother, the 7600)
Marantz 2252B
Pioneer SX-1280
Sansui G-8000

For parties get some mach 1 speakers with the model ending in 29. They have the rubber surrounds so wont need work. They can go LOUD. For critical listening there are many many options. I like my NHT’s.

Yes and also the F-15. I spent many a day watching the blackbird take off using about half of the runway before lifting to near vertical and being out of sight very quickly.
