USS FORD CARRIER STRIKE GROUP SAILS UNDER NATO COMMAND IN THE HIGH NORTH

Exactly. I took part in NATO exercises back in the 70’s, and it doesn’t seem far fetched that some NATO person could have been in charge in some way, shape or form.

NATO in charge of a carrier though? That might be different.

[GingisK]

They could make the bilge pump vents look like a drooling mouth.

[Magnum44]

Its a play nice together game. The CO still owns his ship and the airwing. But its like chopping from EURCOM to CENTCOM and back. Just defines whose command structure you report to.

[rlmorel]

That is kind of how I see it.

“This is a war game. Why don’t you try your hand at it?”

[TermLimits4All]

“Have they started building the USS Joseph R. Biden yet?”
They’ll have to keep it from falling underwater with that name.

[Salman]

It would solve a lot of the world’s problems if the United States were definitively dismantled.

“Have they started building the USS Joseph R. Biden yet?”

His namesake ship should be a garbage scow.

[mass55th]

"Have they started building the USS Joseph R. Biden yet?"

More like the USS Beau Biden. He died in Iraq you know, or at least that's what Joe says.

[mass55th]

"Maybe some day Europe can defend themselves instead of us."

They're nothing but a bunch of ingrates.

[Boogieman]

You fools have been saying that for over a year now. I don’t think you know the meaning of the word “brink”.

[Dogbert41]

Either that or I think that the only reason America is not living out her last days in darkness and radiation poisoning is because Russia has a man of reasoning and understanding at the helm- for now. We have a bunch of America loathing, self loathing, God hating ship of fools at the stolen helm doing everything in their power to make the world glow.

[Boogieman]

“because Russia has a man of reasoning and understanding at the helm”

You should take this stand up act on the road, I think you could make a go of it.

[ViLaLuz]

So much for the oath.

[grey_whiskers]

No, you must be thinking of the USS Hunter Biden.

I hear it's going to have a crack crew!

[Bonemaker]

Well they got the USS Harvey Milk so might as well make the USS Peter Buttigieg. (Pity the poor sailors.)

[jjotto]

As I understand, USNS Harvey Milk is manned by civilian sailors, not Navy personnel. It is not ‘USS’. Small consolation for honoring a pervert.

[Bonemaker]

[ETCM]

I still don’t like the idea. Sounds sort of symbolic anyways. However, as a hard and unbendable rule, US service men should not be under command of any other nation or organization

The military of NATO is always commanded by an American Four-Star General/Admiral. That Flag Officer is "dual hatted" as Supreme Allied Commander Europe (NATO) and Commander United States European Command (US). While conducting NATO operations, US forces are still accountable to an American General.

[Dogbert41]

Tell Kirby, Nuland, Sullivan, Miley, Austin, Obama, Hillary, and good ol Zel, I said, “Hi” with a big middle finger.
