I call your Wuhanic Plague and up you one cruiser.

Damn Russians will probly start penetrating Alaska air space with nuclear bombers again.

Whacha gonna do?

[Fellow Traveler]

I understand the argument for retiring the Iowa class BB’s but I do sometimes think they would be useful. In this situation nothing else quite says ESAD quite like 9 16 inch guns.

Good!

They should randomly fire cannons while they are at it.

Hey, what happened to those Iranian boats that were harassing us last week?

“I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm’s way.”

The “Tin Can Navy” is upholding the USN’s founding traditions. God Bless Them!

[MrEdd]

I don’t believe that the Russians see us as the bigger problem.

[Logical me]

Time to tell China go to hell. Warn them to watch their step. While your are at it warn Russia that close fly by our aircraft may result a shootdown of Russia aggression.

That is one pretty warship:
122 cell VLS, 8 Harpoons, and two 5" deck guns.
Undoubtedly with a fast-attack sub nearby.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Need to post the pics on WeChat to achieve maximum effect. :)

I tell you what would be great. Form up a flotilla consisting of one ship each from the United States, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan.

And maybe from India and Australia too.

Then sail that flotilla merrily through the South China Sea.

If any nation on the list doesn’t want to participate, okay. Just tell them they are on their own in the future. And if Red China doesn’t like it, tell them to file a protest with the World Court.

[Balding_Eagle]

The protesters in Michigan and elsewhere are doing essentially the same as the Navy

[Chgogal]

China declared war on the world by weaponozing a “naturally” occurring virus. The world needs to fight back. Go Australia! Go USA! Europe, toughen up! Good luck Africa, China is not your friend.

It was been since 4 / 11 that Kim Gluton Un was last seen

2nd ship arrives in South China Sea

Yup, actions speak louder than newspapers.

[advertising guy]

Our politicians and media chose China’s side

on Soros’ and Gates’ dime

The guided missile destroyer sailing into the Paracel Island area brings back a lot of memories.

Way back in 1963-4 we were the first guided missile destroyer, the USS Robison, DDG-12 (Adams class), to be sent in there. And for the same reason. The Chicoms tried to scare us away...didn’t work.
