I concur. I am amazed at the “freedom” the internet comments section brings so humans can display just how narcissistic and thoughtless we actually are.

Politics embellished with minor, illogical “supportive” points will always be the way to get things done.

Evil! Haven’t seen you post in a while. Hope you and your family are well.

The 2002 Blues, in a moment of compassion, hired an out-of-work Thunderbird #3 to keep their website current...therefore, the mistake was expected.

As always, Jer, great pics...here’s my favorite ASW helo.

I’m always amazed that the Navy works as safely as they do ...

Sabre rattling’s success depends on who is doing the rattling and who is watching.

A brilliant observation into the value of every encounter a military asset offers and, conversely, can extract. Much of “peacetime” maneuvering’s value is to obtain just what you describe.

Along with human intelligence, among others, the overhead pics simply tell the analyst sub is here...sub is not here. That is relayed to interested parties and if needed, the search, localize and tracking mission(s) is/are assigned.

When you say “worked on” the MK 54...in the military or civilian at Raytheon?

I concur completely...a good system from an allied country is a great way to go...for everybody.

I have great respect for forward thinkers, especially in the field of physics.

And the final Common Sense Award goes to...PHIL!

Looks good on paper...any way:

Some have said “Littoral Combat Suicide.”

I’m sure that was only in my Navy...They must contract that out to Lockheed Martin’s house keeping company or to Halliburton.
