USS Boxer Unable to Get Underway after Two-Year $200 Million Overhaul, Symptom of Military Readiness Problems

    1. Yes. Ships are "she's".

      The reason? Because it costs so much to keep them in powder and paint!

    2. The Russians call their ships "he". Dunno why. Not even Russians can understand or explain their own behavior.

  6. From the article:
    Despite the loss of the Bonhomme Richard and the unavailability of the Boxer, Abrahamson said the Navy was been able to meet ‘every global force demand‘ for its amphibious forces in 2022.”
    As we used to say in the Aviation side of the Navy: "You can only make so many trips to that well before it all ends up in a smoking hole."

  7. Problem 1. Spending more time on SHARP and DEI indoctrination than on training.
    Problem 2. Promoting incompetent people in the name of DEI.
