Agreed. Part of my point on watching rather than getting involved kinetically.

It must be close to the RCS of the rounds fired from the system, which it's advertised to be able to track for windage correction real-time.
How this motherfucker wasn't taken out in '04 in An Najaf is beyond me. He continues to be a malign actor in the region.
She’s not there to fuck Hamas. Hamas is the dumbass overweight wingman who always takes things too far, and anyway he’s getting some already.
She’s there to fuck Hezbollah.
1) I was kind of shitposting. Kind of. One of those things where I wish I was drunk at the time but in actuality was not
2) For $20 billion, the FORD had BETTER look great on camera. Is she good at the other stuff carriers (not at anchor) are also supposed to do?
3) As many people have already pointed out, where tf does the whole "at anchor" part come from?
4) Nobody knows where this goes from here. There are some fun high school social studies papers in this thread and a lot of high-testosterone jacking, but I don't think the Israelis are capable physically or politically of slaughtering 2 million people, the vast majority of whom are also prisoners of Hamas. I certainly hope and believe that they are also morally/spiritually not capable of doing so.
5) Netanyahu is a ginormous fuck-up.
I suppose I should’ve clarified, I don’t think it’s proper to wear another country’s flag on a US uniform. State flags are good in my opinion.
A lot of people outside the realm of Naval Aviation assume the ship is at anchor when conducting flight ops. It was one of the biggest surprises for my family when they asked me how CVN flight ops work, e.g. "how do you land on the ship while it's moving?"
It was a jab as I saw a lot of photos and videos on Instagram reels from people on the beach in Gaza with the Ford in view with it's anchor chains in the water, and with a couple of tenders and a couple of tugs. It was really surprising to see... "Hey, I'm here on the beach and look what just showed up".
Me- shouldn't they be ugh... moving? But I suppose it sends a pretty strong message as the sun is coming up. I seriously doubt they're still sitting there.
I totally get the message, but it's not like we don't have other units in the AOR ready to go. There are plenty of airbases within reach from pretty much every direction on the map of where we'd want to go. Do we *need* the airwing off the CVN? Probably not. Is it nice to have? It sure is. Does it send a strong power projection message? It sure does.
To be honest, I find it interesting that the MEU didn't jump on board to.
The CSG movement was an information op - Nothing more.
Stuck on the wrong side of the canal right now.
Dude... Even you should know that those videos clearly weren't of Ford from Gaza. Come on now.
Chuck is preparing to unleash his most powerful orgasm ever in response to Ford's presence in the EMED. When Ward Carroll arrives on scene to deliver his handsomely monetized play by play analysis, Chuck will just dissolve into a rapturous mist, as he transcends the physical world for Nirvana.
Reminds me of the stoner I ran into in college while wearing my MIDN SDBs.
Stoner: “Are you, like, in the Army or something?”
Me, in a uniform covered in freaking anchors: “I’m in Navy ROTC.”
Stoner: “Navy? But . . . but there’s no water here!” (totally confused look)
Like seriously dude, do you think we all have gills or something?
While working at HQMC, had a meeting at the White House with the Marine mil aide. While waiting outside the entrance gate with a co-worker (in our Service Alpha dress uniforms), an older black lady looked us up and down.
Her: "Ooooohweee! You boys in the Salvation Army?
Us: "No ma'am,..Marine Corps (sigh)"?
