Wait the back of my car says V70

Before reading this article, I considered myself somewhat of a lightweight in the gearhead world. After reading this goop about fuel-injected cats and oil-pumping pistons, I feel like a world class automotive engineer.

These subs v carriers exercises take place in a small ‘relative to the size of the ocean’, prescribed area. A sub can just lie down, going at no more than 5mph and wait for the carrier to come within torpedo range.

I’m not sure if you are trolling or just ignorant. What would you call a given group of armed forces fighting another group of armed forces? If you want to get hyper-technical and play semantics, then at least say that’s what you are doing and don’t waste everyone’s time.

those planes don’t engage in battle. They fly, shoot missiles and drop bombs

Subs aren’t keepin up with a carrier at speed, the ships don’t go straight they are constantly turning and doubling back. The carrier CAP will take out the air recon planes or the guided missile destroyers Aegis systems will. A carrier is a tiny object in a vast sea. It also has jamming abilities and point defense…

They move quite fast, satellites are shit for constant target tracking as they don’t stay overhead, unless geostationary... which are too distant to provide the necessary resolution. Carriers are turning at forty miles per hour.

“Battle involves two sides of relatively equal strength and equal risk.”

Autoexec.bat is fine, it’s config.sys I keep messing up. I probably don’t need the CD-ROM drive for this, do I? Let’s take out the drivers, should free up like 5 whole kilobytes or so. What does mem /c /p tell me?

Politics? I suppose my opining over this author’s narrative is political. That wasn’t the purpose of my post though. It was more to address that this author excluded the carrier’s contributions to various battles over the past 70+ years.

We do not build carriers to fight naval battles against China and Russia. We build carriers to project air power anywhere in the world, at any time, whether we have accessible air bases with mission permission or not. That is what carriers have been used for since World War II and will continue to be used for.

Those Navy/Marine pilots who flew over Vietnam must be surprised.

Your definition of “used in battle” is fairly exclusionary of the last 70+ years of carrier history, and their air-wing’s contributions to the Korean, Vietnam, Cold, and Gulf wars... not to mention GWOT. But don’t let that get in the way of your narrative.

That’s on the guy cutting in, not the cop. It’s the consequence of Linkin Park douchebag’s actions.

Worth it.

That dickbag forcing his way in after the part where the highway engineers had lines painted on the road that said “don’t merge here, asshole” causes a ripple back through the line that causes me to be late to work an hour after he did it, because people had to brake for him to fit in and the chain reaction has begun.

Don’t compare this to a zipper merge. This is NOT a zipper merge. At all.

We don’t talk enough about the yellow on yellow violence epidemic that’s prevalent in racing culture.

By the way, if Deadspin had a whole vertical dedicated to side by side comparisons of local announcers calls of big plays, I wouldn’t object.
