Hey! Those are Maine defense pork dollars you are dissing. :laughing:

I have no idea how useful or necessary that ship is to the US Navy. My guess is that's its primary mission would be carrier group protection?

Let's hope it doesn't get burned up like the submarine USS Miami did in Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (which is actually in Kittery, Maine) because an idiot wanted to get off work early to see his girlfriend.

Yeah...he'll see her again in about 25 years...in the interim, I'm sure he'll be the girlfriend.

BTW, it's Naval, not Navel...

Oops! Thx.

He should have been shot at sunrise.

The Navy should have specified clear paint instead of gray, to make it harder to see. A real stealth ship should look like a hole in the water.

The Air Force stealth fighter does it right.

That's a good looking stealth fighter.

I have a question. What about surveilance by Satellite? Stealth doesn't seem to be much of an advantage if it can't elude this tracking method and the Satellite's capability of detailed Photos, position to the exact point of Latitude and Longitude. Just a thought. It would be far better to have this Technology on all our SUBS. Just a thought.
