Default New US Navy ship

The USS William Jefferson Clinton...

The US Navy welcomed the latest member of it's fleet today. Pictured below
the USS William Jefferson Clinton, CVS1, set sail today from it's home port
of Vancouver, BC.

The ship is the first of it's kind in the Navy and is a standing legacy to
President Clinton and his foresight in military budget cuts. 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
F14 Tomcat or F18 Hornet aircraft, which although cannot be launched or
captured on the 100 foot flight deck, forms a very menacing presence.

As a standing order there are no firearms allowed on board. The 20 person
crew is completely diversified and includes members of all races, creeds,
sex, and sexual orientation.

The ship's purpose is not defined so much as a unit of national defense, in
fact in times of conflict its orders are to remain in hiding in Canada, but
will be used extensively for social experimentation and whatever ****ty
jobs the commander in chief and his wife can think of.

Good one.

Coming up yesterday, I got up close and personal with the new Navy
Fast Patrol Boat wit the twin Volvo diesels and outdrives.

The Navy guys wouldn't let me take pictures, but that is a very
impressive little vessel. Sort of like those Coastie boats, but
larger.
