1990's graphics might just be blocky enough for this !

Haha, the return of Vector Grafics...AOD does much better already :)

First I thought it was a sub over water, but no, a destroyer, look, look...
Surely as effective as ugly, but: What did some old sub commanders say:
There are no ships, only subs and targets...

This is really a I-want-to-shot-down-that-thing ship, just for the sake of my eyes :haha:

Reading the article sounds like someone jumped the gun on this project. 23 to only 3 vessels? The ship will be delivered with guns in an inactive state?

It’s the DeLorean of ships! Will probably be horrible!

It's a Pentagon contract; being fubared is sop. Or as the contractors say, "Love those govt. contracts !" as they laugh all the way to the bank.
