What is Sal drinking?
I'm going to be spending some quality time with the list of Southern cocktails from Garden & Gun through the new year.

You win the internets award for the day.
Bwahahahahahahahahaha........
Hopefully the oiler doesn't get sunk on the way to the rendezous point. ;)
Still chuckling!!! BZ!
This is not transformational humor.
Cartoon is great (but old by innernets standards - what a whole month or two ago?)
We have one that can't sit straight, way overweight, and sucks down food like Homer Simpson and the All Day Buffett and another design, part ballerina, part track star with a bad back, and a glass jaw. Oi veh.
OK, I am not qualified to make a decision on these - other than perhaps build 3 Independence class while moving to a new design / shopped foreign design.
Wonder how each would do in a sprint against an Iranian SS-N-22 Sunburn or a 100mm or 122mm cannon projectile fired from concealed positions ashore.....
they cant outrun even RPG-7, URR...
Sorry I'm not as cool as you.
But you try, Phib, and that's what's important. ;)
Yes, CDR,.... it's the thought that counts. 8-)
Funny and sad at the same time. Two glorified speedboats with the armament of a Coast Guard cutter and the price of a blue water frigate.
Toungue was in cheek. Must remember to emotismiley next time. Wink, wink.
I thought this was going to be a joke about CPT Graf.
Reminds me of a cartoon I saw a few years back with the F/A 18 hooked up to its own "buddy store".
Actually CG Cutters of equivalent tonnage may well be more heavily armed (Hamilton Class).
That is the way I still think of the F-18 carrying a buddy store-the self licking ice cream cone.
Time for regime change in the Navy.
And they do not carry the armor of an M-1/M-1A1/M-1A2. How my comparts could an RPG, from a small boat, the we are afraid to fire on, for fear of causing an "international Crisis" with the Sudanese goverment, travel through before exploding?
I'm hoping they did that kind of testing, because on Pirate Partol in/near littoral waters, that's the most likely case, when NCA won't allow you to fire unless there is clear evidence of a hostile act....you know, not like some trigger happy SEALs who put the C-in-C on the spot by actually following the issued guidance....
Yeah, the Hamilton Class carried Harpoon missiles for awhile back in the 80's.
Don't sell yourself short...
add the aluminum superstructure waiting to catch fire...
anyone remebers Kormoran-Sydney match?
"3 pirate skiffs sink US wonder ship", nice headline?
You mean the Bertholf? LOL! The Bertholf blew both her main propulsion diesels on her first patrol.
Ewok, at no time has an aluminum superstructure caught fire. There have been fires IN the superstructure that caused the aluminum to melt/deform, but there was never a Delta fire.
Stay Classy!
Aluminum plus iron oxide (aka common rust) = termite
Guess what is abundant on the aluminum-steel joints, on a ship constantly under adverse corrosion environment?
Kinda reminds me of playing Red Crown............Sweet, Sweet Tanker is bearing 000 10 nauticals and angels 10.
What, what, what? Termites? Oh lordy, LCS is more f***ed up than I ever thought if it's got to worry about termites, too!
Now thermite is not a problem -- that's powdered aluminum (and not aluminum oxide) and iron oxide well mixed. What you'll find on aluminum-steel joints is no more like thermite than a lump of charcoal, a lump of sulfur, and a lump of saltpeter is gunpowder.
I would like to see that cartoon, do you remember where you saw it?
Badger, The Air Wing guys were passing it around and it made an appearance in the Air Plan back when I was on the CARGRU staff.
