i'd laugh, but, we have on costing five times as much in tow...When you let the last parts of your empire fall away to a band of peasants led by a wrinkled old fart, let your home nation be run by chavs and unpaid prostitutes and allow unchecked immigration from the most barbaric parts of the planet...it’s rather inevitable that your technical ability will eventually start to fail you.

All these “green” ships are going to have to be scuttled. LMAO
Oh wait, we have an Obama so never mind.
