Yesterday in Mobile, AL, our newest warship, the USS Independence was officially commissioned. A trimaran capable of almost 50 knots, it will head to Virginia shortly for testing, then to its home port in CA. We got a glimpse of her from a distance. One word, AWESOME!

Not sure, but the crew probably has to wear crash helmets and seatbelts most of the time.

I think one of it's main tactics will be to suck up priate boats and spew them out the stern as flotsum.

You're right Ed. There was no indication yesterday of anything but when I went to check just now a supposed virus scanner wanted to install itself.
