USS Abraham Lincoln

I got that too, but it was a pretty poor job of it to be fair.

I made a half dozen posts criticizing all the armchair quarterbacking, followed by one post where I sarcastically armchair QBed (in response to a sarcastic post that was armchair QBing), it’s not my fault if people don’t hang on every word it write. I’m giving gold here, Jerry! Gold!

As much as I would like to see a 737 woosh land on an aircraft carrier full of telephone sanitisers mold remediation experts I understand the mold problem has gotten so out of hand that the only workabe solution is to nuke it from orbit.
Unfortunately the Iranians are not allowed to have nukes, so it will have to be the Russians.

I bow to your better knowledge of shipboard life. I am nearly totally unfamiliar with ship configurations, having never had to set foot on one.

OO-rah! It’s been over 30 years since I retired, but I would bet that there are still battalion deployments to Spain and quite likely to the Middle East. They can mobilize astonishingly fast and practice doing it both in homeport and when deployed (they’re called “mount-out” exercises) and involve mobilizing everything from nuts and bolts to heavy equipment and firepower.

Can they just make the reactor go critical?

I thought what you were saying was so obviously sarcastic that I was trying to figure out whether the people responding to you were continuing in the sarcasm.

Aircraft carriers have distilling units that will draw steam regardless of what speed the engines are operating at. Rest assured, this has nothing to do with how fast the ship is going.

Indeed.

I’m surprised Kegbreath hasn’t blamed low morale on low T. Or maybe he has.
