>>> “......a contract that requires the ships be run on algae fuel at $50/gallon.” <<<<

We could laugh at Soviet sailors, vice U.S. sailors, when they place huge vats of ALGAE on deck and the engineers take buckets of that slimy green crap and pour it into 4-inch fill-pipes leading to the fuel tanks.

On the positive side, for the sailors, they may find some lake trout tangled in the algae. ~ POOF ~ fish for dinner.

ABSOLUTELY NOT a ‘mistake’.

Some group of their organizers put this together chortling in the back room about how they were duping the American people watching the convention.

Very similar to the ‘Nam POWs getting photographed and displaying the middle finger while giving a statement against the US that their captors demanded. Similar situation, but opposite ideology in play.

This is the DNC giving America a lovely statement but meanwhile in the background giving those “in the know” the middle finger signal that they feel coerced in doing so.

Subliminal message — bet the Russians will get a hoot out of this, (was it a blunder)?

This Regime is either so incompetent as to defy the imagination or so criminal as to be overdue for long incarceration.

No fallout for the Dems though, here in the new Police State of the ObabaNation.

It’s a housing for a towed sonar array.

What an incredible insult to every US Navy/Marine vet in our history and to those now serving in our Navy.

I can’t post my real feelings about these scum bags.

A.D. Baker III, a retired analyst who worked in the Office of Naval Intelligence, told Navy Times that the four ships, “at the time the photo was taken, constituted the entire major surface combatant component of the [Russian] Black Sea Fleet.”

He said the photo was likely at least six years old.

Oztrich Boy laughs at A.D. Baker III, a retired analyst who worked in the Office of Naval Intelligence.

In a few minutes, with just the help of Google, I found another picture of the rear three ships, and identified them. (General configuration of each matches the DNC image)

Ships in DNC photo are, from lead ship:
Unidentified Krivak frigate
Frigate Neustrashimy
Destroyer Smetlivy
Cruiser Kerch

Now the Neustrashimy was built at Kalingrad on the Baltic and only transfered to the Black Sea Fleet after Indian Ocean anti-piracy patrol in late 2008.

So the picture is less than 4 years old.
