Nobody is claiming that fixed bases are invulnerable.

Let me try and summarize your main points:

- Carriers are worthless because they are vulnerable.

- Fixed bases are more worthless.

That's why you need to send the Marines.

Don't plan - improvise. :)

Hoo rah !

Why waste a perfectly good missile when you could do the same thing
with say, a radio controlled/GPS guided Parker ?



Your barge would hold a lot more explosives, and make a much more colorful
boom. Especially if you were on it.

Harry, you are in the area. Try to see how close you can get to a Navy
ship of any kind entering the Bay.

Tom's wife is a bull****ter?

Just repeating what John called you (Tom).

=========================================

Try reading the header.

With all the folks here using multiple handles lately..........why
bother?

BTW: Who's wife is a bull****ter?
===================================

The point is you accuse someone that doesn't deserve it.

So who is it?
========================

It ain't SWS.

So who is it?

I don't care to do anymore research other than it's obvious who it isn't.

NP. Just seeing if you can help cleaning this place up.

There's some interesting spin.

Who makes up the establishment? Individuals?

Individuals that Harry disagrees with - important distinction.

Yeah, I do. Comped. Long, long story, the gist of which is that I used to
handle the marketing and PR for a now-defunct pro-military entanglement
"diplomacy" publication, and when the pub folded (long after my
involvement with it), the senior editor, a buddy, hopped to the Jane's
group, and I got a comp. After some years, at my request, he switched it
to an electronic subscription. I still look at it once it a while.

Good grief. Try the public library.

Of course - a comped subscription to Jane's.

What was I thinking?

You weren't.

No kidding - done all the time - hell, I get comped magazines everyday
- inundated with the damned things - all left over from the early days
when I...

Well, we'll just leave that for another time.

My brother, and my niece, have a great story about that.

It's highly amusing - especially the part about the .50 cals pointed
at him from some highly motivated sailors and Coasties. :)
