Ironic, just now re-reading “The Hunt for Red October” after decades.
Yup.
I believe Saratoga (CV-60) was the last carrier that a scrapper paid money for a few years back.
One penny. Seriously.
Yeah but, could they pause Lamaze classes and transgender training and Pride events and hooking up with whatever long enough to be the Navy again?
Thanks for the ping... I thought I was missing one Greenfield... glad that’s not the case.
Obama was so “in the bag” for Islam, it was just astounding.
He was the “Shuck and Jive president, while our nation was being stripped of it’s assets.
The man brought terrorists into the White House, and appointed them to positions in our government.
He armed and funded two different terrorist groups.
Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood were his best buds when it came to Islamic fellow travelers.

That’s right, It was part of Obama’s plan to bleed America to death by a thousand cuts. When Obama left, the USA was running out of blood.
Please add me to the group.....straps
Please add me to the ping list—yldstrk
Where did the ships and sailors come from? They had to have been carved out of other commands meaning we are still stretched very thin. Meanwhile, still no rolling back of lunatic left wing experiments in the military as a whole, a complete and abject failure on the part of lap dog Mattis.
The greatest fraud ever perpetrated against the United States.
Ah, yes. Our criminal Congress....
The problem with that is replacing 50 year old parts that just aren’t made any more. In an emergency, I suppose she could be underway in a few months, but long term is not an option.
Half the world relies on our military to keep regional conflicts from spreading to inside their borders.
Agreed...
They didn’t call her “The Shitty Kitty” for nothing. She was downed repeatedly for engineering deficiencies late in her career. That’s what constant deployments without adequate yard time will get you.
At the end, the Kitty had no arresting gear. Most likely they’ve stripped her catapults & jet blast deflectors for spare parts. Bet most of her radar & comms are gone too.
