3. This is a private museum and not a governmental org. Still, hilarious.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Thanks. I'll self-delete. . . nt

5. Seems like some knucklehead searched google images for a battleship,

thought that one looked snazzy and didn't bother to check whose it was.

2. Putin loves to leave his calling card at his crime scenes.

[EYESORE 9001]

6. There are two types of naval vessels

Submarines and targets. That vessel wouldn’t last long in a real war.

7. It didn't

I think that’s the Moscow, recently promoted by the Ukrainians to a submarine in Poo Tin’s Black Sea fleet

8. Didn't shitler recently criticize the look of Naval ships

during his bloviating with the brass. I hope this is just nonsense but if not this Navy man says a big WTF over.

9. Maybe he wants to change the color scheme.

Tough choice.

• Bright red, white and blue.
• Coppertone

Republicans celebrate the Navy's birthday — with photos of Russian ships

Monday marks the 250th birthday of the U.S. Navy and, to commemorate the occasion, some Republican lawmakers and others took to social media to share photos of ships.

Unfortunately, they chose ones from non-U.S. fleets.

Dave Brown, deputy Washington coverage chief at the Wall Street Journal, highlighted multiple organizations and individuals who crafted memes using ships that aren't part of the U.S. force.

Republican Florida state Sen. Jim Boyd cheered the Navy with a photo of a Russian battle cruiser.

11. The people pushing AI say "nothing could possibly go wrong"

When people muck up even simple web search.

12. The navy needs to cut down on the rum ration.

[usonian]

13. This group is not Navy. Ex-navy.

Rum ration unlimited.

[Ping Tung]

15. I'm ex-marines.

We actually got a beer ration of sorts. We were deployed to Taiwan to Ping Tung airfield for a few weeks.
Middle of nowhere. We lived in tents. Liberty was limited to having NCO guides to steer us away from the naughtier part of town and it was Cinderella liberty. There was no EM club/tent on the base. So we started to explore the immediate are rice paddies where we found the Taiwanese base guards who welcomed us with home-made "Plum Brandy" we could buy for about $2 a bottle. Or, we could trade for them. The squadron was suddenly absent blankets, spare clothes, watches, and everything else that could be stolen for trade. Braver souls would also find that women brought from somewhere were available for cash. The brothel consisted of a couple blankets laid on the ground. Note: I wasn't THAT brave. There was an outbreak of gonorrhea and a lot of marines were wandering around rice paddies. Many were getting sick from the homemade brandy. Warnings from the CO had no effect. So they started to assign some Gung-ho types to be MPs and chase the drunks around the rice paddies. To little effect. Then they tried to give us an EM club which consisted of bamboo fences in abut 30 yards of bare land with a sort of bar set up with planks. They sold us beer for small change and even gave it away to keep us away from the rice paddies. It did work pretty well.

16. Some people got smarts.

Some nco's at our Coast Guard station wanted to set up a lounge (a total non-starter) and enlisted submitted proposed names all seemingly using the letters F, T, and G.

Friendly Tom Grog got some likes.

But the "FTG" lounge never happened. The CO made sure of that.

We were adjacent to a college campus and the optics would have been really bad.

A buddy and I would head to the local watering hole and grab some beers and watch Kung Fu. Nice.

Not sure what the Marines would have proposed.
