Nice ship . . .

But, this lines from the reporter:
"The ship will be commissioned -- and officially become the USS Zumwalt -- on October 15 in Baltimore. Until then, Capt. Kirk (U.S. Navy, not United Federation of Planets) and his crew will test the ship's array of futuristic systems."

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

She was/is being built right up the coast from me. BIW (Bath Iron Works) has a long tradition of building ships for the US Navy. On one of her first shakedown cruises, she helped rescue a fisherman who was having a medical emergency..

Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty, and the pigs like it...

Good maritime karma to save a life before taking any. Could be a righteous ship.

Headed out for sea trials (last winter I think.) Love this picture!

Tower looks like the tower of the alien space ship from "Cowboys and Aliens".

The crew have to have shaggy haircuts and beards... in a Zumwalt navy.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.
