[PROCON]

Well hell, let me ask the question.

This is satire, right?

[GeronL]

They should not name ships after living people, for one thing.

They should not name military vessels after anti-gun fools, for another.

[GeronL]

LCS’s are named after cities aren’t they??

[Jet Jaguar]

Active Duty ping.

[PROCON]

Ping

[MediaMole]

Nothing should be named after living politicians.

Only after death and after a thorough audit of their finances.

[VanShuyten]

It’s OK. None of the guns have flash suppressors or magazines that hold more than seven rounds. And none of them are painted black.

[LucyT]

Barf.

This is sick.

[Secret Agent Man]

This ship has been disarmed for its safety and the crews’ safety.

[Jack Hammer]

“This is satire, right?”

Well, the Russians and Chinese are laughing their *sses off....

[2ndDivisionVet]

Does Harvey Milk or Mathew Shepard have a ship yet? How about Trayvon or the Gentle Giant?

[Oztrich Boy]

It’s not a real combat ship.

[bakeneko]

In the upcoming war in the South China Sea, it will probably be appropriate that our vessels are named after victims. And manned by trans-whatevers.

[PROCON]

Does Harvey Milk or Mathew Shepard have a ship yet? How about Trayvon or the Gentle Giant?

Still 18+ months to go.

[dp0622]

I’m speechless.

[faithhopecharity]

Not a day goes by without O insulting or attacking or weakening or undermining USA, the Church, Christians, Jews, or all of the above.

[JohnBrowdie]

LCS = Little Crappy Ship. Pretty appropriate, really.

[alpo]

There is a sub named Carter. Only boat that has no nickname and is only referred to by its sail number.

[matt1234]

The ship won’t get any attention until someone shoots at it.

[Flying Circus]

It also is one of the most secretive of a secretive fleet. As part of my job I occasionally interact with people at Navsea and that boat’s special missions get alluded in some folks comments, but never with any details. Just enough to know that it’s duty cycle is not like any of the other boats in the sub fleet.
