Road to 350: What Does the US Navy Do Anyway?

[Hair Warrior]

I'm trying to get @Hair Warrior to elaborate on how/why that is important, but he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about (or else he would've stated by now).

We can play “bring me a rock” but that game got old for me long ago.

They use differential GPS for the current shows.

I'd argue that shows just how delicate they would be (are) as a weapons system.

Well, yeah. That's like arguing that your robotic vacuum at home lacks speed and payload capacity for repurposing to be an indoors death drone. It's a peacetime design.

If that was the only way for drones to navigate, if there were no GPS-denied methods that exploit vision, ultrasound, or a bunch of other means, you'd be right. They do the displays that way because it works and it is too cheap & easy.

Shifting gears, we've talked about Harvey Milk in this forum before, and I wasn't a fan of the decision to name this ship after him, but this seems like yet another example of poorly chosen battles.

WASHINGTON — Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced earlier this week that the USNS Harvey Milk (T-AO-206) will be renamed USNS James Earl Ray, but after a different individual with the same name.

“This ship will honor someone significantly less gay,” Hegseth said in a video message from his office, sipping sweet tea with a slice of lime. “Naming a ship after a Naval officer who served with honor during the Korean War is a disgrace to the Navy and its strong reputation for heterosexuality. From now on, T-AO-206 will be named USNS James Earl Ray, but not after the guy who shot MLK.”

It's because you state things that have no factual basis in reality. Not because it's old. You quite often post things that are out of your depth. It's okay to assert things out of the norm, but at least have some credible sources to back up your claims.
