I have a real problem having ships named for living people, worse yet, for living politicians, worse than that, for execrable living politicians.

This is nothing new. It has been going on for at least 55 years with the nuke boats.

Yes, as far as I know, nothing has been declassified. We did oceanographic research, that is all.

Not the first time Jimmy Carter was in over his head.

We did oceanographic research, that is all.

We didn't just do "oceanographic research"; people asked where we went and the answer was generally that we "went north" (unless we went south to Autec). I find the website name ironic - they don't make this speculative mission sound at all boring.

My guess for possible activities. Renew, repair, replace items planted during the previous mission, check on the North Koreans, check on the Chinese “islands” in the South China Sea.

My guess: Not worth guessing. Either you’re right and shouldn’t be talking, or you’re wrong and there is no point in talking.

I am happy to say what port calls I’ve done and how many times I’ve been to Port Canaveral or San Diego and AUTEC or SOAR, but I don’t see a benefit in speculating about missions. I spent several years in uniform wearing gold dolphins, and then “consulted” for the Department of Defense, before taking my math skills to the political realm, but that is all the detail that even my wife knows. Our boats do cool stuff - oceanographic research, up north - nothing more.

I don’t remember that episode (I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen them all).

If that’s lifted from an actual episode.
