They should rename that ship to something patriotic and maybe this shit will stop.
Ship happens.
Every day someone puts their life at risk on behalf of our country. Remember to pray for those at peril on the sea and hope that such misfortune is not caused by beauracratic blunder, miscues, or negligance.
I hated to hear this, propellors are invisible when they are spinning rapidly. I learned to walk around as far as possible props especially on the E 2-C Hawkeyes when I was up on the flight deck and especially at night. Unfortunately this happens usually due to complacency, I’m sorry for this unfortunate young man and I wouldn’t have wanted to be the ones who had to clean the bloody mess up afterwards.
It’s Trump’s fault. It’s Trump’s fault. Woo-Hoo Woo-Hoo Woo-Hoo!
Carriers are dangerous work places.
The rest of the information will be interesting to see.
