and this is tough (related to
#2534 Jura, Yesterday at 5:00 PM):

“We’re almost a generation removed from the decision-makers, but now we’re dealing with the effects of those decisions,” he said.
he = Jerry Hendrix, a retired Navy captain and director of the Defense Strategies and Assessments Program at the Center for a New American Security

I mean somebody came up with nonsensical 'concurrent' stuffing of ships with unproven tech, THE MORE OF THEM, THE MORE FANTASTIC SHIP ... and now he's either promoted or retired

I could deliver a speech to commission a CVN. All you gotta do is dig up a old commissioning speech change a few names and the date and you got it.:cool:

Honestly I always found these sort of event boring. Plus if you standing in ranks it is very uncomfortable especially on your feet.

Gotta go..
