215 days at sea and looks like it should be in the junkyard, those sailors on board that floating wreck have my sympathies.

I may just be a dumb old Marine but I know that when you see your HOME looking like it’s been through a riot you are not a happy camper.

When I did Sea Duty the SHIP became my home, my fellow Marines and all the Squids on board took pride in OUR SHIP.

That poor baby needs about 6 months in the dry dock and some serious love and care.

That ship is beat up and looks awful.

Maybe if the Navy spent more time on mission and less time and effort on diversity the leadership might do a little more thinking about the mission.

Relieving a whole bunch of barky era leadership would be a good start to reform.
