Is that the one that had the extra chamber added to it midway? I guess that was the only way to make up for the unfortunate name.
“The ship wont get any attention until someone shoots at it.”
Then the skipper resigns his/her/its commission and becomes an international arms control “activist”.
Carter was not a good president but unlike Slick Willy and the Obamanation of Desolation I don’t think he hated his country. As he was a submariner I have no issue with a submarine being named after him
“Jill Biden will be the one smashing a bottle of champagne across the bow during the ceremony.”
The public should be outraged, EPA and the Audobon Society should go beserk. Smashing bottles of champagne on the bow of ships needs to be BANNED IMMEDIATELY.
First, a valuable resource (champagne doesn’t grow on trees, you know) is being wasted.
Second, think of all the glass that keeps being deposited on the ocean floor. All that sharp glass could cause injuries. Not just to humans, but to flora and fauna.
Third, smashing a bottle is pretty much a VIOLENT ACT. All violent actions should be illegal.
: )
A perfect example to show how far AMERICA has fallen into the sewer. I guess it won’t be long before we see the USS Homer Simpson.
No doubt. Did they paint it pink and put a 500cc engine in it too? Didn’t the top Naval commander say if it floats it fights? Did they fire that one and hire a Barbie Doll?
Is it painted PINK??? WHO the hell made this DUMBASS decision???
It’s sad. What happened to naming ships after heroes, like Mitscher, John Paul Jones, The Sullivans, etc.?
Now we name them after Giffords and Murtha.
No doubt the ship will fly the LGBT rainbow flag of the Usurper Obama’s military.
Didn’t know and not surprised at all.
It has guns aboard?
Oh my..
The least the Navy could do is make it an ammo free combat ship..
there’s a ‘littoral’ joke here but I’m not clever enough to make it.
"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense." |
