Carrier Follies on Parade (Again)

Fact is more hilarious than fiction now.

USS Repulse and USS Prince of Wales would be more appropriate names for these missile sponges and future fish apartments.

The sinking of Prince of Wales and Repulse by Japanese naval aviation was a naval engagement in World War II, as part of the war in the Pacific, that took place on 10 December 1941 in the South China Sea off the east coast of the British colonies of Malaya (present-day Malaysia) and the Straits Settlements (present-day Singapore and its coastal towns).

In his last week in office, President Joe Biden on Monday named the Navy’s next unnamed future Ford-class aircraft carriers President William J. Clinton. The super carrier that will follow it will be named after George W. Bush. However, it will be years, even under the current plans, before either ship is delivered to the Navy.

Stop building these things.
