Both the jet and the tractor fell overboard, according to the Navy.

Slowly we devolve to 3rd world status
 
I still have one, I do not know if you remember a kit they sold. It contained a 4 D cell light with a 2 D cell extender to make the 4 into a six. Well guess what happened people would add the 2 Cell extender to a 6 cell light and make an 8 cell. The kit was discontinued shortly after introduction.
I have one in each cell count still, hard to believe these were the best light available at one time. My phone is brighter than they were.
I have a 6D with the extension (8 D), and you can buy an aftermarket 10 watt cree bulb that makes it brighter than most surefires.

I'm sure when COVID happened, a few folks who ran and got ballots for people unwilling to come to the ballot box were done in good faith; but we now know a majority of it was pure cheating.
 
i hope we are prepared.

So, the ones we built are still having issues...... So, china built a bunch and they work?

A 2012 report by Rear Admiral Samuel Perez, USN, found that the ships lacked the manpower and firepower to complete the missions required by regional combatant commanders. The report found that the LCS is "ill-suited for combat operations against anything but" small, fast boats not armed with anti-ship missiles. It also found that the excessive beam (width) of the trimaran Independence-class ships may pose a "navigational challenge in narrow waterways and tight harbors".[131]
