I was onboard HDMS Absalon several times last month. You want state of the art? I'd renounce my citizenship to sail on that "cruise" ship.

I'd be happy to be seeing it from that view. How would you like to be looking out at the beach and seeing those flashes headed your way?

I know that a lone F22 could probably rape an Armada of battleships, but I wish they'd recommision them just for their awesomeness.

It could happen. I think one or two are still in inactive reserve. Like I said, they've been recommissioned a number of times- including for Korea, Vietnam, and the first Iraq war. Of course, one of the last times the Iowa's main guns were fired, it damn near blew the turret off. Some retarded leadership (mil and civ) trying to show off, and the usual screwups by the (enlisted) guys doing the grunt work.

Walked past the bulkeley after work, interesting amount of security out there. Between the guy with the m4 and the two girls with pistols and the zodiac trying to hide on her jersey side

Being most of the middle east is desert with not much beach front (well not the ones we are blowing up), what the hell can a battleship do to piss off the Muslims? Other than being named Jersey.

Gotcha and understandable why they wouldn't like them.
