Well, there was structural damage, but there could have been even more concern to it slipping into the water if they tried to move it. A decrease in weight on the edge of the deck would also reduce the friction that could be all that's holding it in

Lol, very punny

700km at 3 kts

I think tankslapper is the word I am thinking of.

Sadly no, I just love pretty much everything that moves.

It has 6 tubes, so I you could do a limited saturation attack.

It keeps you safe if you are being chased by attack manatees

Cavitation is caused when the crew is moving quickly. If it is only going a few kts, it will be fine

Well, if you are on battery and trying to be quiet you are only going be moving at manatee speeds, so your screw shouldn't make much noise. It's not 100% undetectable, but its proximity to the shore should be able to help it hide as well

And this, folks, as how we know we are still on Jalopnik!

That's assuming it is trying to be quiet. I would personally be be having a party...

Then it immediately loses it again as this little guy makes no noise when on batteries.

Nope

With the potential conflict with Turkey, the message this sends is pretty clear...

Sounds good to me!

Reminds me of how everyone pounced on the T-14 when it's driver left it in park. You definitely want anything in the spotlight to be prestine.

Yah, the Hornet is far from being a truly agile plane (relative to others in its class). I don’t see much harm in going to the F-35 on it. There are several nearly new F-35s early production that probably don’t have all the fancy avionics installed

I would like to point out that that is true, for armor piercing shells. AShMs don't really penetrate armor so much as they push it back and away (which results in massive penetration as a result).

Very good point. I have though of rough seas, I had not even considered a USS Stark or Cole Scenario.

I am seriously curious as to how this thing will handle heavy seas. From what I have heard and seen demonstrated on a model, the flight deck edges will be in the water in heavy seas, and the ship will have a tendency to lay on its side. It will be interesting to see how it works!
