They need to go recover it before a Chinese or Russian ship does and gets our best tech.

F-18s are pretty old lol. I don’t think we’re too worried about it

There might be some software and electronic upgrades that are worth something.

Maybe. But they’re in a thousand feet of saltwater

Super Hornet, not the original.

They’re still pretty old

even an Ocean Gate sub can handle that

The 0 to 60 in saltwater just isn’t that impressive

The tug would most likely be a TA-75, I don’t think they use JG’s anymore.

I’m just assuming anything software related is corrupted

I've got a young friend serving on the Truman... lot of stuff has happened to that ship in the past 6 months or so. Good stories when he comes home.

According to the signal chat the ship zigged when it should have zagged.

Interesting new slang for female minorities.

Oh no. Not the tractors too!!!!

The loss of the tractor might hurt more than the jet lol. There’s like 80 fighter jets on those ships. I can’t imagine they have a ton of extra tugs laying around taking up space

How fricking embarrassing.
Poorest country in the Middle Easy embarrassing the largest military in the planet’s history, with thousand dollar weapon systems while we spill our planes into the ocean.
Thank God it’s all for Israel. Oh yea, it’s really all to protect Europe’s trade routes. I get confused by the rhetoric.
All hail to Bibi!
