I am surprised that we only built 51 of the fuckers.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

We built a lot of equipment during the cold war that has since been mothballed or retired from service.

I read an article a few months ago about how bad the LCS's were for many missions, and immediately thought that an FFG was needed.  Too many people in the Navy are all about high tech gee whiz ships.  I'm not sure that there are that many Perry's available to bring back.  They may need to update the designs and start building new ones.

With Putin and Russia wanting to be a military power again, I would think they would be looking at subs as being a major tool again.  The Perry's were designed as a counter to that threat.  Brining them back would seem to be a cheap effective move.

We need a new CV USS Yorktown. The last one is awaiting scrapping, and it's not even a carrier.

We need a Montana class BB with 4-6 16" guns, hundreds of missiles, and laser point defense.   :smitten:

Russia cant afford subs and our destroyers and "smaller carriers" can deal with whats out there now, I think.....
I do think our ASW needs some major work but its still pretty fucking good compared to the shitters out there now.
