Colonel 7.62
Comrades, this horrifying picture of my liveaboard sailboat and Revolutionary Assault Craft was taken about a month ago.
I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is your post highlights the sorry state our Peoples Navy is in at the present time. The events that lead to the neglect of our "Glorious Navy" are well known, as the party has used its coffers to spend on what it then considered higher priorities, then on ensuring that our fleet stay modernized and ready to deal at any time with any or all counter-revolutionary threats.
The good news though even though funding is meager I have been heavily involved in ensuring that the funds that are available have been put to good use. I have extensive background in Naval warfare and Tactics and have been part of a Party appointed team in developing our next generation of "Peoples Ships" to protect our glorious revolution.
I'm am sorry that the new ship wasn't available for you to use about a month ago in your planned assault, but I'm happy to report she has now passed her sea-trials and has been commissioned and now is at your disposal for future missions.
Colonel 7.62, I humbly Present the United Socialist Ship.......The U.S.S Bill Clinton
The USS William Jefferson Clinton (CVS1) set sail today from its home port of Vancouver , BC.
The ship is the first of its kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to President Bill Clinton
‘for his foresight in military budget cuts' and his conduct while president.
The ship is constructed nearly entirely from recycled aluminum and
is completely solar powered with a top speed of 5 knots. It boasts an arsenal comprised of one (
unarmed) F14 Tomcat or one (
unarmed) F18 Hornet aircraft which, although they cannot be launched or captured on the 100 foot flight deck, form a very menacing presence.
As a standing order there are no firearms allowed on board. The 20 person crew is completely diversified, including members of all races, creeds, sex, and sexual orientation. This crew, like the crew aboard the USS Jimmy Carter,
is specially trained to avoid conflicts and appease any and all enemies of the United States at all costs!
An onboard Type One DNC Universal Translator can send out messages of apology in any language to anyone who may find America offensive. The number of apologies are limitless and though some may sound hollow and disingenuous, the Navy advises that all apologies will sound very sincere.
The ship's purpose is not defined so much as a unit of national defense, but instead in times of conflict the
USS Clinton has orders to seek refuge in Canada. The ship may be positioned near the Democratic National Party Headquarters for photo-ops and can be used extensively for social experimentation and whatever other worthless jobs the ex-commander-in-chief and his wife can think of.
( I'm also hoping that our efforts will result in a promotion for me to Commodore of the Peoples Fleet.........If you can sneak in the good word for me.......Hint, Hint, Hint)
