not sure what to think of cvn78...1st change in carrier design in 40 years, maybe they are biting off to much at once?
It's time for improvements, but the articles I've read say there's been some serious concerns with what happened during testing. Of course they won't know for sure until the time comes like anything else. At least they didn't name it after Carter![]()
carter, lol......I agree time for upgrades, but from what I have read it won't actually be sea worthy for up to 4 years. I precommed the Eisenhower and 30 days later we were on shakedown cruise.
instead of steam catapults they have electro magnetic-this sounds good but in practicality hey haven't been able to make it work...but my biggest concern is apparently there is no manual override????
I haven't seen anything about no override. I just saw that there is another two on the way after this one and Trump wants them to go back to using steam.
the time between launches would be drastically reduced with electro magnetic versus steam, so far they haven't worked out the bugs, but i'm confident they will-to me this seems like a good upgrade. the total reliance on onboard computers controlling every aspect of the ship is where I have the biggest concern. to me it doesn't make sense to not have manual override in place???
You guys seen the movie Battleship? Nothing gives me the chills more than when I see the part they have to revert to using the museum peace to fight the aliens, that WWII Battleship with the old vets....that thing is a sexy beast!
yeah, that seems like it would need to be worked in there. Is it possible they just didn't have it during testing, but have it now?
I think it was premature to unveil it now, they should have waited...it is a beautiful ship with many needed upgrades but it makes the navy look bad to do a precomm ceremony with so many bugs still to be worked out---4 years before seaworthy, they should have waited, imho!!!
oh I agree. I'm also a little worried that such news is so easily released for the world to see.

Thoughts on the military transgender ban?
Thoughts on the military transgender ban?
I dont think people who are willing to mutilate their bodies to that extreme extent should be involved with the military on the battlefield. That would include straight regular folks who prefer to cut their ears off or a leg or two.
There's some great Americans currently serving and who have already served that are trans and I think it's rdiculous that a bunch of rich ****s who can't control their own sexual feelings get uncomfortable at the thought of somebody that is different from them and therefore feel the need to punish them. And to say it's because of cost when that has been shown to not be true is lying and taking the cowards way out of this. It's 2017 and although I don't agree with a lot of the miltiary decisions over the past few decades, I appreciate anybody who is willing to fight for this country.
They're not doing it to themselves at a home depot. They're going to a physician. Using that logic, nobody that has ever received elective surgery of any sort should be allowed.
Ill tell ya what....get rid of the hypocrisy out there and let our men who are serving openly take their steroids without being ridiculed and discriminated against so they can be whatever they want to be and Ill be all for the transgenders being in![]()
What?! As long as steroids are illegal, they can't promote its use openly, but what military ever in the history of time has ridiculed or discriminated against the bigger, more muscular soldiers? Again, if those military members get their steroids from a physician, they are allowed. Otherwise you're comparing apples to oranges. Also, not all trans people actually go through with reassignment surgery.

Ya know what? I gave it some thought for a few minutes. Any transgender who wants to fight for freedom and liberty to me from this point on is on top of my list in my books. Everyone else are the crazy ones!
Libertarian transgender soldier > liberal soldier ROFL!!!!

So, you assume that you are one of the "objectively superior" people?
lmao. You've always been really fair and open-minded and I completely agree that there is some hypocrisy going on with steroids being illegal, but that's an entirely diffrent debate since hormone replacement therapy is available for both men and women. The way people talk in this forum, I think I'm one of the few people over 40 who isn't on TRT.
Well if a individual identifies as a transgender then goes into the military, our taxes should not go towards any procedures to change their appearance. Plus even just woman have a hard time in the military with all the sexual harassment and rapes, transgenders will get it worse, then when they kill themselves they'll blame the other soldiers when it's obvious they'll be discriminated harshly. There no need for any of that to happen. If you send a baby into a wolves den don't expect it to not be eaten, there are consequences to equality.
So military guys are rapists with no self-control around trannies?
No, statistically there's issue when it comes down to how woman are treated in the military but it time that'll subside as things get balanced out(hopefully). Transgenderism shouldn't be an actual thing since it hold no true in reality besides the fact that people say it's true. It is a reality that they will get ridiculed and possibly abused, there no reason that they should be allowed in the military.
They should fall under the "don't ask, don't tell" policy because retaliation is a reality and their perception of reality isn't.
Orrrr maybe people that we're supposed to call heroes should not be abusing fellow soldiers no matter who they are.
No they shouldn't be doing that but it's a reality and only time can change how woman are treated in the military. It's one thing that woman should be treated as equals but it's another thing to mold reality around a small population of delusional individuals.
My experiences in life had always been straight men giving me problems. I say ban straight men from the military!
.when I was a kid I thought I was batman...good thing my mom wouldn't let me sew wings on my shoulders like I wanted.
isn't there something mentally ill about thinking you are something you are clearly not?
.In all seriousness, liberal democracies forces people to adhere to false realities on a large scale in the name of individual freedom. Individuals do not deserve freedom, freedom must be earned through loyalty to the nation and the state that is protecting said freedom(s).
The state is flawed and need reforming but ideological rebellion and warfare only causes mass chaos and lack of national unity. There are only two ends to the US government, one is communism and the other is fascism. One requires acceptance of aggression and the other requires the acceptance of submission. One promotes mass unity and the other promotes mass genocide.
Every other "ism" just pushes communism as a future state rather then fascism. Pledging your loyalty to the state ensures your freedom and future in a fascist state while ultimately everyone under a communist state starves.
And you're accusing others of not being in touch with reality, but want everybody to sign up for fascism? Also, there is no state in Communism...that's a fairly basic core concept.

Its the military, not a ****ing social experiment. Second, a lot of tax payers are pissed that they were paying for service members to het sex changes. And finally, the military traditionally does not endorse putting rifles in the hands of folks with mental illness. So, why should this be any different?
Why do you have to earn freedom? Why not just leave people alone unless they infringe on other peoples freedoms and take it away at that point?
Well because it doesn't work, no one is entitled to freedom and this idea of entitlement causes chaos and disorder. This idea that everything and everyone is relevant makes nothing and no one relevant. That's why there are so many issues in society today and once someone/a minority is effect negatively it does effect laws which effect the law abiding population limiting their freedom.
