USS Simpson’s decommissioning also means the only ship left in commission that has sunk another ship is USS Constitution.

    Well that just sucks.
    Thin skinned; launching the one armed bandit would melt and pit the front of the aluminum house; combat life expectancy of around ten minutes. In short, a high speed missile catcher. God I loved my time on those ships. And what do we have to replace them?

    I should note: when they still had an Mk 13 launcher it would melt and put the house. Yeah I know. I’m dating myself. LOL

    And the Constitution would definitely take down one of those Little Crappy Ships. One broadside and down it would go. The Flags are destroying the Navy and a lot of sailors are going to die one day because of them.

    One hopes that they ( the Flags ) will still be alive when that happens so that they can be hung for treason.
