I do believe that if you bother to check it out, this is an ARLEIGH BURKE - class of Guided Missile Destroyer. It has vertical launch missiles right in back of that gun. It's not quite the Don Knotts you think it is. It also has a 20mm gatling gun for shooting things down that get thrown at it. I don't know about you, but I would not like that ship mad at me.............

I sure hope not. That one gun on deck looks a little lonely sitting there.
It can't be too serious.
No cause for alarm. BTW, the pictured ship reminds of sage advice I received the very first time I went to a race trace:
Kid, never bet on a horse with grass stains on its stomach.

Did you not see the "russkie" adjective? Talking about not checking something out! You didn't make it past 4 words.

Thanks Brian. I wonder if that was the one my Dad was on. ;)
That ship looks more about the size Obozo would take a cruise on, where the Russian ship looks like it was intended for serious business.

I hope not too. We have enough dead and wounded veterans. We don't need any more.
