...something long, smooth, hard, and full of seamen!
Sorry, but the 13-yr old boy in my head couldn't resist...
Update: I did not notice it at first, but the photograph that accompanies this story shows a nuclear submarine emerging from under the Arctic Icepack, and says something about the sub being used to measure melting ice or some other Global Warming bullshit. Those boats are supposed to be out there defending the country and getting ready to sink ChiCom boomers, not help tree huggers continue to waste more time and money on the their now-debunked false religion.

Never Forget...
The U.S.S. New York has arrived in New York Harbor this morning. This ship has some World Trade Center steel incorporated into it's construction, and will serve as both a fighting ship, and as a memorial to our fallen. The commissioning ceremony (the process by which the Navy officially accepts the ship into it's ranks) will be held noon, this Saturday, at her berth near the U.S.S. Intrepid Museum.
I'm going. I wouldn't miss this for the world. Neither should you, for a few reasons.
This ship symbolizes far more than just American might. It is a monument to our dead, killed by a cowardly enemy that refuses to stand in the field and fight like men, but instead sneaks about like thieves in the night. It's a monument to the indomitable spirit of the United States -- not Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi's United States, the real United States. It was built with steel recovered from the ruins, by men and women who not only had a ship to build, but a city to rebuild.
Because, you see, the U.S.S. New York was built in a shipyard in Louisiana, New Orleans, to be exact, and was on the ways when Hurricane Katrina struck. The men and women who built this floating testimonial also had lives to rebuild. This ship is not only a memorial to the dead, but a memorial to the living who overcame hardships and put their noses to the grindstone, in what for many, seems to have been a labor of love.
She's a beauty, and she will serve this country well for the next 50 years. The enemies of all good and decent men should quake with fear when she shows up off their shores, because she means business. She means that the United States has come to supplant tyranny with freedom.
If you can, make an effort to go to that ceremony on Saturday.
Good Luck and Godspeed, LPD-21.
