Picturing this ship pulling up into the gulf with big brown stains all down the sides
they already have them, but it’s rust because the navy stopped requiring crew to maintain their ships.

Wow that looks like shit. I thought “swabbing the deck” was a major part of what navy sailors did all day in basically every navy for as long as there have been navies.
In other navies they do lol, but not in the US Navy. It’s an empire on the decline and their military reflects that.

This is one of the most hope-inducing pictures I’ve ever seen lmao
Right? If the ship itself looks this bad, hopefully its weapons systems are just as poorly maintained.
Hopefully, but that’s the dry cargo ship Alan Shepard which isn’t armed with offensive weapons systems beyond four pintle mounted 50cals for repelling boarding and disposable Nulka decoy launchers.
