BTW what you think about this picture?
Picture is from MilitaryCorruption.com article found here. Couple of quotes.

It's been said a picture is worth a thousand words. We can only hope the one above is worth a court martial, even if it makes the Navy blanch to punish an incompetent and unstable "politically correct" poster girl for all the super feminists at the Pentagon and the U.S. Naval Academy.
Quote:
"The McCAIN lines up next to us (the COWPENS) and then both ships went full throttle. The whole thing was crazy. Graf would go nuts if any of the OOD's came within a few miles of a contact, and now here she was ready to drag-race a destroyer.

"At one point, we nearly hit the McCAIN's fantail when the ships came within 300 feet of the other. I held my breath and prayed to God we wouldn't collide, because many sailors could have been killed and at least one Navy warship sunk at sea", a sailor told MilitaryCorruption.com
I would like to hear opinions of those who have served on navy (not banning others) of soundness of this kind of "drag-racing"?
