    Diesel boats while submerged are quiet, they run on batteries. Only run the diesel on the surface.

    The Virginia class on the other hand....they are badass.

    When I saw the "live" video online of that little Porker reviewing that huge military parade and display of weaponry, I thought it would have been appropriate to have a TLAM or two hit his reviewing stand. The optics of that would have been priceless.

    I just don't know how fast the targeting can be updated for a target like that? Now we have the USS Michigan, Ohio Class sub moving into the theater of operations. Doesn't it have the capacity for 150 cruise missiles?

    I'll wager there's more in-theater than we know about. I'm okay with that.

    Yeah...it would take a substantial military effort to even have a remotely realistic chance of making a dent in even one of our eleven carrier strike groups. Relative to that required depth, it's interesting to note that North Korea's $15 billion GDP is about half that of Los Angeles County alone.

    I wouldn't doubt that. I'm not an expert on Naval Operations, but I've refueled on certain notable occasions on surface ships. Grabbed some chow from the Swabs. Those dixie cup wearing folks eat a helluva lot better than Army personnel.

    And the Air Force people eat the best


    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

    Just thinking eight tubes versus four. 79 Whiskeys is a lot to chug through.
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    I don't know how they'd find the time since they're always zipping around at high speed. Our term as Army rotor pilots for Jet Aircraft was "Fast Movers".

    I've had some AF food and it's not bad, but you never see a fat Airman. I have seen some hefty CPOs in the Navy....
