@ChowdahHill In the post WW II era, has any carrier logged that many miles at sea on combat deployment?

@bradlapgov In politics no one cares what you mean, it’s what you say.

@EricShaw98 @MoloWarMonitor I’ve read the same. I’ve also read the “rust” is not impacting the stealth of the aircraft.

@ChrisMartzWX I’d put Bush 41 in A tier. He oversaw the peaceful downfall of the USSR and the peaceful reunification of a divided Germany, and not one shot was fired.

@BEisenhart Where were the Growlers

[Chad K Gray @whiskeychad]

@WarMonitor3 They are older model F-16A’s that have had some upgrades to permit the employment of modern weapons. But plane v plane, while capable, they are totally out classed by the Typhoons and F-35s of the RAF

@BLackgold_5 The stealth coating has iron oxide in and it’s reacting with salt in air. No impact on preformance.

@80s_channel Start buying Apple stock, buy the land where all the development happened in my home town in the 90s.

@gatorsszn If Illinois beats Iowa, it doesn’t matter because Iowa still be Florida

@EdKrassen You speak the bullshit Ed. If an F-18 were being shot at by SAM, the plane would be pumping our flares and chaff . None of which is visible in said photo. Ergo, it’s bullshit.

@CraigMurrayOrg Any attempt by the sub to facilitate a rescue would hazard the boat and the crew. Not gonna happen.

@DocCoyle Love it. I listened Metallica’s show from 1991 in Moscow. Such an impressive performance.

@WarMonitor3 Three seems high. I would think more like 12-18 months. They have the technical knowledge, financial means, and access to nuclear fuel. All they lack is the choice to move forward. I would also lump nations like Japan, South Korea and possibly Australia in this group as well.

@McFaul Greenland would be dumb, but the entirety of the Vietnam War was/is worse

@vic_muchiri @sentdefender Roosevelt Nimitz and Vinson could put to sea should the need arise. I’m not sure what the status of the Reagan is.

[Chad K Gray @whiskeychad]

@JackTriceMafia At least we can field a team that plays together

@abyssaltech @sentdefender The only other torpedos, besides the MK48, in the US arsenal are the MK46/50/54 series ASW torpedos. While they could damage a large ship, I doubt they could sink one

@DieselBABE20 I think cost is an issue. I have no problem paying $75-$100 for a good whiskey or tequila. But I’m not gonna do shots. I’m gonna enjoy that. Many people would want to spend their money elsewhere.
