Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

IIRC, that ship fired the very first shots of WW2.

Drove past there a few months ago. Very depressing.

Here at ACD, we all pee the same color.

Second pic up, is the Adams sitting next to a Ticonderoga-Class?

Looks like. We've been retiring the early Ticos too.

USN has been very quiet about it. The ChiComms have been pursuing the tech, but they are always more about show than actual operational weapons
