Bring Back The Zeppelin Too…?

 

Hmpffffff! 🤨

I dunno what to make of this!  From what I first heard about it, detractors were talking about a revival of the old  obsolete Iowa class battle wagons complete with 16 inch guns, brass kerosene lamps and Oerlikon AA flak guns crewed by spinach gobbling , pipe puffing and cigar chomping misogynist hard ballers. They lied about all that of course - because Orange Man Bad. Here’s what we’re actually looking at:

I can’t help it.

I love it!

It only gets better! Rail guns! Hypersonic missiles! A hyper velocity 5” gun, cruise missiles…baby!! Up your collective arse, you commie scum sucking bastards!!! 

The Yesterday Men are all screaming about untested and unproven technologies but hell’s bells - the Japs are fielding working rail guns. In their last spat with Iran the jews got absolutely pasted with Iranian hyoersonics. They move so fast they can barely be tracked, and cannot be shot down or interdicted by anti missile weapons. These weapons are out in the wild now, everyone has or will have them soon.

I wonder if Pete F could pull some strings with his

connections in the navy and get me a job on that boat?

I’d do great in the galley…

I am personally convinced that the US gave up too soon on coherent beam particle weapons too… but that stuff truly IS largely unproven and the Reagan era results with it were dismal… but that was 40 years ago.

But… Ughhh. It’s not 1995 anymore. Cheap autonomous weapons and drones are everywhere, and the quality and effectiveness of them is going straight up. Orbital weapons platforms are going to become an issue if they aren’t already. Satellite surveillance already means the element of surprise is now GONE from warfare. Navies are going to become targets. 

What raises my hair is that the old Globalists and jews are in this up to their elbows. The proposal I heard was that they’d assemble the ships in sections in South Korea and final assembly would be done in the States. 

We tried that with our oil patch here in Alberta years ago, Our refineries are built in sections called modules. My biggest customers built them here in Edmonton, close to all the suppliers and subcontractors… and the completed mods were shipped up North for final assembly at site. The Big Noses and funny hat guys and their fart catchers in suits told us all that we were too expensive. They’d build the mods in South Korea, ship them half way around the world, and fit them together at site AND undercut our prices by 30%. A trial project was launched and when the mods got here… the QA/QC was absolute shit. I went through them with the engineers as a consultant on their structural steel and bolting work and lord - it was garbage. API, NACE, ASME…none of that meant anything to the South Koreans. The modules they shipped  wouldn’t connect to each other, never mind the existing installation at site. Refitting and refurbing them here would be more expensive and it wold be far less hassle to just start over again from scratch with local suppliers and fabricators. Last I saw… those mods rusted in a lay-down yard for about 6 or 7 years before finally being scrapped when the land was sold. But that was 10 years ago… and ships and oilfield mods are different animals. Maybe all those old problems and logistics barriers have been overcome…? It’d be a damned good idea to have your own engineering team in Korea to oversee this… just sayin’. 

Can America even build ships anymore? I’ve been hearing horrors about the carrier fleets, where maintenance and training cutbacks are taking their toll. The carrier swabbies are pulling longer deployments and want another carrier group to build some cushion into the system just to meet patrol requirements. If the shooting starts and they start losing ships… there are no replacements at the docks or in the pipeline. Who knows what other needful things need immediate attention in the navy? Is this the time to take onna project like this?

Who knows…
