What the Hell Is Up With The Navy Lately?
Again.

Quote:US Navy ship collides with oil tanker off Singapore

Quote:The USS John McCain was sailing through the Strait of Malacca and preparing to stop in Singapore when it struck the Liberian-flagged vessel.
A search and rescue operation is under way.
It is the second serious collision involving a US Navy ship within two months.


Come on, guys.  Look at the radar screens!

Unbe-fucking-lievable Yes I've just spotted this, and my reaction was: You can not be fucking serious? Something is seriously fucked up with the way the Yanks are floating their boats. Be afraid, be very afraid. The United Sates of America is now wide open to invasion from Burkina Faso.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

I was under the impression that we've mastered flight in three dimensions to the point we have passenger airlines. Given that, how the fuck is our navy, which really has to deal with two dimensions of movement, running into civilian ships?

Do they not have a grunt to stand on deck to prevent this shit?

Bet your news agencies didn't mention a NZ navy ship joining the Nimitz carrier group to assist after your other ship was damaged a few months ago?

Ship underway at reduced speed, hole in ship smaller than last time.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

And it happened three days after this!

Quote:The ship's commanding officer, executive officer and senior enlisted officer were all relieved of their responsibilities aboard the ship, Navy officials said.

NZ?  Were they lost again?

I wonder if they have started letting the women drive?

Maybe knowing who their new boss is makes it impossible for them to concentrate on doing their jobs.

You should have heard Trump swearing when he heard that the ship was named after John McCain. He called him bad name in the English language.
