The USN has the ablity to refuel at sea underway at any given time anywhere on the Earths oceans. They could not do that 100+ years ago..

"Dinged" her as well, its got to be BHO's fault,,,,,,, don't worry, trump got his ball cap and coveralls on and is flying Melania down there to fix it! Prolly just needs a couple of new batteries!

Yep, I just found out it takes 210,000 of those 9V transistor radio batteries, and only 50,000 are bad??? no big deal??? Admiral Zumwalt is no doubt in "hi-rotation" right about now?

Oh Yeah, Trump had to stop by the Naval Shipyard and trade his "Make America Great Again" hat for a cap that says "Go Navy" with "scrambled eggs" on the bill!

GO NAVY!

I would've thought a long range had been needed in the Pacific ... but you may come to
UK Military News, Reports, Data, etc.
to spin also this to me:

...
Royal Navy to lose missiles and be left only with guns

the mindset of current Western Navies amazes me: a presumably escort vessel may be refueled between California and Pearl Harbor, AShMs apparently not needed, 140 crew members on a 15k displacing ship ...

but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and I'm curious how your President-Elect will handle projects like the Ford aircraft carrier once he sees the data

4 problems with the 4 new classes !
Him and LCS classes in more Ford but not the ship despite it late of 2 years.

Fortunately former classes Virginia, Burke worck very well.

So a question US shipyards know do new reliable propulsion or can get it soon or new too sophisticated... ?

Its a great post Jura! because I the "word maestro" wrote it,,,,,,,in English you demonstrate the absurd with a statement even more absurd!

From the list of Trumps cabinet, you already "know" he's putting people in place from the "old school"! He will get things done,,, BHO doesn't give a S---T, and that son is the truth, Trump cares, about our Military, about our Cops, about us, and about you! He's a rich guy, but an uncommon rich guy, cause he does listen to the "smarter people" around him!

and think about it, I "KNOW" that you my boy can picture the Trumpster in a Navy Cap and dungarees or coveralls carrying his tool box that says Trump, closely followed by Milania in stiletto's and a mini-skirt coming aboard and saying in her cute little accent. "What, What is this, this, this, MESS, get thiiiiss shiiip going, NOW!

He'll prolly paint "Trump" on the side of the Zummie! and don't worry about the Ford! that will be his number one project!

Yes, they are too complicated, but BHO is more interested in "diversity" than he is in a functional Navy, but Trump will get the right people and get them rolling again, he don't care what you look like, or what color you are, you better be "good at your job" or you will get "fired"!

What sort of diversity are you referring to? Please explain. Thank you.

I'm talking about the "community organizers" "affirmative action military" where we have to have a "rainbow coalition", whether its functional or not. OUR US MILITARY has been, and continues to be "devastated" by the Social Manipulation, and an example is the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell"!

I have and will continue to rant against the idea of firing competent and capable people, or passing over them because they are "old white guys" or "old black guys" for that matter!

I'm talking about the double standard where an old white guy gets punished, and a Hillary Clinton as head of STATE, breaks every rule and walks away "Scott Free!" Yes I AM PISSED!

I'm sick of having to "apologize" for being a man, and thinking like a man, my new President has already made being a "MAN" something I no longer have to apologize for..


As I SAID Mr. Trump doesn't care about your sexuality or your color, he will expect you to be good at what you do, and loyal to your country. I having am proud of Patriots, who don't see themselves a black or white or Asian, or Hispanic, but see themselves as Americans, and do their job because they have "self respect" and love their country! It time get the military back to being the effective, color blind team, where we work together to fight and win.

America worked, because everybody worked, we all have adversity, we all have set-backs, we ARE NOT VICTIMS, WE ARE BLESSED! and we ought to act like it, men and women, I'm tired of Cop Killings, by people who are haters and have been "justified" in the hate and anger, and feel "empowered" to hurt innocent people, because somebody keeps telling them they are victims!

Most of all I'm sick of a President, who has been blessed beyond measure and is this morning the most powerful man on the Planet, undermining Patriots and Soldiers, and sending them to "diversity training" instead of making sure they are prepared for the battles that are no doubt coming as a result of being perceived as "weak" and "ineffective"!

That enough "clarification" boss??? mods feel free to delete or edit, this is way off in right field! sorry if I have offended anybody, but American MEN are tired of being treated like krap, and having to apologize for being MEN!

I'm a MAN, and I'm Proud to be an American MAN!

even though I'm the Air Force Brat, "GO NAVY", they will get it fixed!

It's really strange that those problems weren't happening during sea trials. After that it's breakdown after breakdown...

Well the Ford and the Zummie are very complex, very high tech, and ultimately will be very effective fighting machines, they are going to challenge us all to bring them up to their full capabilities, and they will be capable, but it takes lots of money and hard work to be the best.

They will offer Sailors a very effective tool to fight and win on the high seas, but they have to be loved on in the process, in my opinion??? for what its worth, Mr. Trump will expect them to be "brought up to speed" sooner, rather than later, he will take a personal interest in, and inspire those sailors to make the repairs, and work the bugs out, and he will "empower" them to do so with the money and where-withal to get the job done!

He cares about his people already, and he will work for them to give them the leadership to focus on the end goal, not social engineering, but becoming a co-hesive fighting force once again!
