Before anything comes in range of this Capitan is already doing handbreak turns and dropping Superhonets overboard.

"XO... dump the aircraft now. We need to speed up."

"Aye Aye Madam Captain." retorts XO. "While I am at it, do you need any Midol or sanitary napkins?"

Red sea is narrow you cant be 100miles off shore
Drones can quickly and at low cost deplete the SAM arsenal of a carrier group , and modern ships do not have cheap ways (guns) of dealing with kamikaze drones.

Guns needed


Hadn’t thought of that ….great point ! We had room to stretch in the South China Seas and the Tonkin Gulf.
Up North they had Junks all over keeping up with ships movements. The Connie never directly avoided them….Junks can move most rickey tick when 90K tons is bearing down.
We went up the Persian Gulf in 1974 and sea space was a sorta concern. But Vietnam was winding down , the Navy didn’t see a problem. That said …I remember when the Old Man got on the 1-MC late that night we entered the Gulf.
He said “ Gentlemen , this is the next place that Shit Will Hit the Fan”… Can’t say he was wrong.

Can’t believe it was 50 Years ago tomorrow that Vietnam officially fell. 😏

Imagine how pissed whoever broke that cork was. Trying to use their fancy shmancy oil and the flipping cork rips in half. I'm going to get some to see what all the fuss is about.
 
Want to feel old? Danny Noonen is 70 today…

He was doing so well until the Hiroshima Nagasaki guilt shit. For that, he's just another snot nosed Leftist shill and needs to STFU.

I'll never feel guilty for nuking those punks. If we hadn't, he and and many others probably wouldn't be here.

Well, looking back in hindsight, the Nagasaki bomb was not really needed because at the time of that bombing, Hirohito was in Tokyo with his staff in the process of surrendering. Obviously we didn't know that at the time and we also knew Japs were very well known for never surrendering. So yeah, personally I'm of the mindset that if we didn't drop those 2 bombs, the war would've gone on longer and more lives lost.

However, there in one major problem I have with nuking Japan that made the whole world a worse place to live. It brought the world Kawaii culture! :mad::sick:

Well, I hope not. But if it does, it will…
 
Screw Steve Earle

A self proclaimed socialist
Had no idea till I saw him at Red Rocks a few years back.
Sadly Willy Nelson has gone down the libtard hole as well.

Red Rocks however, will always be an iconic place to see shows.. I saw a couple shows there back in the early 70's. IIRC RR was built by the CCC back in the day.
