They've stolen ANOTHER submarine...
 

Well they are trying to at least...

Saw this new book in the book isle at Tops. I read half the blurb and put it back...

I find it ironic that the author named an attack boat after a peace and civil rights activist. :-?

Christ, if we don't get some half decent plots soon I'm gonna have to write to Putin and ask him to reform the Soviet Union! :damn: :damn:

Well said.

I find it dumb not ironic. The Hyman G. Rickover set a bad precedent. The USN Naming scheme has gone all to hell. :damn: :damn: :damn:

He's trying the best he can, but simply doesn't have the cash. I'm placing my hopes on the Chinese :know:

How does one get a book published today. I hear its very difficult, yet I see some of these storylines and wonder...

Several of the Boomers were named for non-military types: Mark Twain, Will Rogers, even King Kamehameha. I have no problem with MLK, though I think they would have included the Junior.

Wasnt there a scandal about naming an USN ship "Princess Diana"? And i belive it was a sub too. I find this equally dumb if not ironic.

I believe that was an April's Fool joke :-j

Oh really?! Bastardz!!!! :-j

Mind you, if you read Rogue Warrior or Red Cell by Richard Marcinko, the possibility of gaining access to either an SSN or SSBN isn't / wasn't all that difficult.

Now, stealing one and driving it away is another matter altogether.

Eh this guy did in real life. :rotfl:

You really made my day with that! Thanks. :up:

you know guys, how about we all start a thread and put together an awesome plot for a book and we write our own book?!
