Perhaps Sen. Lott can budget a couple of Navy transport ships in stead of the porked out, never completed, taxpayer milked, luxury cruise ship rusting away in the shipyard at Pascagoula, Mississippi.
Did anyone ever think that our heavy-lift ship leases would be secret?

"Perhaps Sen. Lott can budget a couple of Navy transport ships in stead of the porked out, never completed, taxpayer milked, luxury cruise ship rusting away in the shipyard at Pascagoula, Mississippi." Most people don't know about that. What a waste of millions of $$$$.

We have lots of government owned cargo ships. I've worked on 'em. Tell you the truth I've have no idea why the Navy is contracting for more.

Did anyone ever think that our heavy-lift ship leases would be secret? Did anyone ever think that we don't want this heavy-lift ship lease to be a secret? Maybe we want to send a signal.

From the DoD Dictionary:
flexible deterrent option
(DOD) A planning construct intended to facilitate early decision by laying out a wide range of interrelated response paths that begin with deterrent-oriented options carefully tailored to send the right
signal. The flexible deterrent option is the means by which the various deterrent options available to a commander (such as economic, diplomatic, political, and military measures) are implemented into the planning process. Also called FDO. See also deterrent options.
