Yes; that’s great news.

That huge Navy ship that was on fire yesterday, I think it’s 20 years old? Something like that.

TUiB, I thought you might be interested in this.

Eastern Ship Builders are neighbors to the east and west. They have the facilities and the technology, PLUS a conservative Congress critter in Neal Dunn FL 2nd district.

Not sure if these icebreakers have ever worked:

Are you a parking ticket? Because you’ve got FINE written all over you.

Hey, my name’s Microsft. Can I crash at your place tonight?

You must be tired because you’ve been running through my mind all night.

I think nuclear power is the way to go, and the US Coast Guard needs at least one advanced, extra-heavy icebreaker that can punch through more feet of ice than current ships. They should also have very durable, deployable rescue vehicles that can “travel the last mile” for rescue.

If they’re nuke Icebreakers, they’re Russian. Just don’t use their computers or comm systems.
