The core is the third most elite and phyisically demanding of the branches/units second to the SEALs

Nice.

I got mad respect for Marines though. Basic alone seems insanely difficult.

I don't get the crayon joke tho

Mad respect to the national guard. You guys help a lot of people on the homefront

Air Force moment

Bonhomme Richard is getting scrapped

4 of the LCS will be decomissioned as well

oof

thats one carrier and 4 smaller ships if im not wrong

1 assault ship and 4 frigates

I went on board one of them (USS Freedom) a few years ago

The only time i've ever been on a warship was when i went aboard the USS Midway in San Diego several years ago

That ship is a veteran

Been in a lot of action

same bro, but I saw one at pearl harbor too

nice

In the case of a possible civil war, is it at all possible to restore the USS Iowa?

because i believe at the moment its literally just sitting in a harbor in LA

No point

Tomahawks do a lot more damage

Iowas only have 32 of them I think

Meanwhile an Arleigh Burke can carry at max 96 (if u get rid of the SAMs)

i don't mean for the actual military, i mean more for civillian militia purposes

Where would you find the crew?

I imagine there are a good number of people who are willing to learn and crew a battleship, not including the actual veterans who know how

Bruh if that shit happens count me in

Always wanted to do this kind of shit

But realistically speaking I'm pretty sure that the US military would take the side of militias in the case of a civil war

which is good

At least most would

Yeah

Some of the higher command wouldn’t

Ach

True

But grunts are likely to

the Iowa would most likely be used for artillery support for civilian Militias in the Los Angeles area

how long that lasts depends to the fighting and how long it takes for the military to get there

Ah now I see

Well antifa wouldn't last long against a battleship, let alone a militia

best part is, if you're shelling from however far out at sea, no worries of idiots getting aboard
