Speed of change: Wyoming (BB32) was launched in 1911, just 57 years after Matthew Perry opened up Japan with steam-powered paddle ships
USS Nimitz was launched in 1967, 56 years later after Wyoming was launched & is still in service 57 years later in 2024...

Back after a couple of weeks. Terrible times for Ukraine, European, and global security, but great time now if you're a dictator
