The parts were made in China ?
Well, at least it wasn’t named after “Senator, not ma’am” Boxer.
“The parts were made in China ?”
The military doesn’t disclose their dependency on China, but let’s just say that if China decides to close the spigot, we are TOTALLY HOSED.
At least they didn’t burn this one in the dry dock.
The Navy doesn’t dare name a ship after Babs Boxer. She would be stuck in hard a’port!
Diversity + graft = poorly made ships.
The head of the Navy basically looks like a 5th grade teacher.
Any WWII jeep carriers left in mothballs at Naval Station San Diego? Those old CVE’s did the job at Leyte Gulf in 1944.
Yep, the Tranny Facilities won't work properly, the mission is not important.
I was curious, so I looked it up. From Wikipedia:
USS Boxer (LHD-4) is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship of the United States Navy.[2] She is the sixth U.S. ship to bear the name of the original HMS Boxer, which was captured from the British during the War of 1812.
Adm. Lisa Franchetti has a degree in Journalism and an online masters in Organizational Management from University of Phoenix. Grinning like an idiot in her official photo.
Our Navy is run by a grandma.
Did it have the proper pro-noun?
Hard to determine which is more asinine (flat out Congressional corruption):
Ospreys with ANY emergency Everyone dies, or useless F-35 VTOL extreme taxpayer ripoff ?
Blowing stacks in port is a time-honored Navy tradition for civic relations. Not...good...civic...relations...
Bataan seems to have been functioning pretty well, at least...
Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Lisa Franchetti ordering a “deep dive” to uncover the root cause of Boxer’s maintenance problems, as military.com reports:
***********************************************************
Admiral Lisa Franchetti and Admiral Rachel Levine are gold plated, indisputable evidence of the DEI the Navy is practicing. One multi billion dollar ship burned at the dock because of DEI, total loss; women ship drivers run a multi billion dollar ship into a merchant ship with multiple sailors killed, near total loss; another ship collision, more people killed; a woman can’t land a 100 million dollar jet on her carrier and is killed and on and on.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, young straight men do not want anything to do with our pussified Navy so now the Navy can’t staff their warships and they can’t leave the dock so they (the women and trannies running the Navy) shift the blame from DEI to maintenance issues.
Wake the hell up everybody! The evidence is over-whelming! A Navy needs iron balled men running it and fighting it like Chester Nimitz, Bull Halsey, Husband Kimmel, Ray Spruance and many others.
We are going to get our ass kicked by the Chinese...these peacetime women and trannies will run and hide like they should when the big guns and missiles start firing and impacting. God did not intend for women to fight MEN in all out Naval battle. The whole idea is a farce and a belly laugh and it’s past time to start calling it like it is by everybody before it’s too late. RETURN ALL WOMEN TO THEIR TRADITIONAL ROLES IN THE NAVY. In WWII the Navy lost more men by far than the marines. Naval combat is BRUTAL and women are not made for it.
USS Boxer was launched in 1993.
You might have a case playing the “Didn’t Earn It” card regarding maintenance, but not construction.
