LPD-21 arrived in NYC today for a Saturday commissioning.
The Navy screws up "tributes" and the naming of ships so often, it's kinda nice when we get things right. Hopefully Somerset and Arlington will get similar attention.
It's always amazing to me how much the 'Gator Navy has changed in appearance, function, and capabilities over the decades ... this is the LSD (yes, I was on LSD) that I sailed on in the late '60s ...
the boat has nice lines....
I think it's a fucking travesty that a gator boat costs $2 billion dollars. ReCockulous!

Seeing as how there was both an Osprey and a 53 folded on spots three and four, while we were landing on spots five and six, I'd say yes...Can those things take 53's? I'd love to pay her a visit someday.
