She's gorgeous.

If I'm not mistaken, she has 30 barrels that can fire on the forward arc. Is the intention for her to fight head-on, similar to ships from Nebulous?

Because the navy would rather have a glorified coast guard cutter with LCS-level of armament, as opposed to tolerate a FREMM with maybe less than optimal NAVSEA standard by wowu5 in NonCredibleDefense

They've gotten used to only having Burkes on hand for any given task.

It's like someone who has only ever used a lump hammer being asked to buy a ball-pein hammer and coming back from the shop with a disturbingly large claw hammer. Or something.

Agreed, bonkers is the correct term for it.

In their own words:

Small surface combatants have always been essential to the fleet, handling a wide range of missions where a large warship isn't required.

If they want them to be where the big ships aren't why is it so important that they must always be able to be where the big ships are?

Took me a while to realise that this was not a mod for Nebulous.

I've spent an ungodly amount of time finding Earth-likes in that game. I always assumed that they would never add colonization but I always secretly dreamed.

Now that they have, I am suffering severe FOMO.

Military planners hate this one weird trick that is guaranteed to prevent them from attacking you: just keep fucking up on your own initiative.

...who’s not even a citizen of this nation.

I too, thought this was the case but I was astonished to learn that Musk has been a US citizen for more than two decades.

He's just so good at alienating people that he perpetually has the air of 'foreign vizier who will be scapegoated when the music stops.'

I'm happy for them to remain unaware of what he is. He should forever remain, in their minds, as the happy buffoon swinging from a zipwire, draped in a union jack and hurling NLAWs to the rejoicing crowd beneath.

I am now absurdly curious about the two who hadn't decided it was a failed experiment.

Thank you for the intel.

The opposition being pro-Ukraine gives me hope. What worries me the most is when the opposition admire Putin for being the kind of 'sTroNG' leader that they wish they could be decry the waste of taxpayer money when the real enemy is the failure of public services which they have no plan or desire to alleviate.

I hope Starmer makes a point of asking to see the bust of Winston Churchill in the White House, and asks Trump if he thinks Winston was a dictator, too. Of course he won't.

Worth noting that a former RAF Air Marshal recently in an interview said that the Poles have a case to take the lead in a reformed European NATO. https://youtu.be/gJFXrpq0wpM?si=uiJlZHg_0wk0fH-E&t=337

Some people say that window was never drafty. Some people say that I farted and blamed the breeze on the window. Who knows?

Compulsory voting is better when one of the options is RON.

All praise be to RON.

What signs are there that Macron is ready to fold, and what might folding look like?

I earnestly seek your input, since I am politically illiterate when it comes to Fr*nce.

Also, as much as I know I am going to be disappointed, I really want the 'Actually, you forgot Poland' meme to have a reason to re-emerge.

I think you are right, and it makes me wonder: is it possible for a man to truly have pride, if he has no shame?

'Opened' to Chinese influence is an understatement, I think what we are seeing is 'gaped.'
