The USN is good, they can even SINK their nuclear power plants, and they'll keep working!

A nuclear submarine submerging is not sinking just getting ready to wack some miscreants butt. Or did you mean something else?

<GASP> A nuclear submarine doesn't sink! I thought they specialized in it! Submerging, sinking, potato potatoe, etc etc.

You will find the Navy really doesn't like the word sink applied to any of their vessels.
Funny though that when Ukraine sunk the Moscove they said they shot it down but that might be just Google translating from the Ukrainian.

And I don't like the word "unconventional" being used when discussing continuous resources. But amateurs don't know the difference and do it anyway because they can't be bothered to learn the terminology, so I reserve the right to do the same when it comes to Navy stuff.

I hadn't heard about that particular "hiccup", but it sounds plausible.

I have no idea about what drivel you are talking about here.

Of course you don't. It doesn't enter into your life in any way. Any more than the word the Navy would prefer we use about their ships that they built to sink on purpose!

I came to that conclusion about a year ago. Or was it two? Time flies when you're having fun

Yeah, but you are the citizen in a country specializing in raising serfs for the Chinese mining operation, there is no expectation you understand...well...anything really. I mean, you people you people can't even build a lousy ferris wheel!!
