    Yep. See the Bonhomme Richard (RIP, we really do need to name a Ford after her/the past ones IMO*).

    Question now is how are they gonna get the hulks out. If they can’t float them they might tie up the drydocks for the rest of the war. :D

    *along with Chesapeake, Constitution, President, United States, Congress, Constellation, Yorktown and Enterprise there should always be a Bonhomme Richard.

    The Russian Black Sea Fleet had better watch out, or Donald Trump will try to put ketchup on it.

    The Russians are barely able to build significant surface ships in less than a decade +. The Minsk is 1970's vintage Soviet legacy equipment, but the Sub is the real loss, a newer build submarine of recent vintage.

    "Gospodin President, our submarine 'Rostov-on-Don' has sunk!" "I thought submarines were supposed to sink." "Da Gospodin President. The problem is this one won't be coming back up any time soon..."

    Is there any commentary in mainstream media about why Zelensky has dismissed his defense minister and all of his immediate subordinates? That sounds like a pretty important thing. US officials were apparently frustrated at the conduct of the offensive being insufficiently aggressive, despite the large body count. Are they exacting a price for more support?

    The last I heard (and I did post an article about it in this thread) is that the defense minister wasn’t doing enough to stop corruption in the ministry.

    I’ll go all conspiracy theory here for a moment and say that the military didn’t lose that F-35, but just claimed that they did so they could ship it to Europe to train Ukrainians with it.

    No mention in the MSM about UAP sightings at that time.
