Oh by the way pilotonline has US Navy news stories not found elsewhere. They are part of the Virginia Pilot newspaper from the Norfolk VA area...also know as Tidewater.

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..
