"A WW2 destroyer has no role in the 90s."
SIR.
Begging your pardon, but "being a fucking awesome museum ship" *is* a role, albeit perhaps not in the original design spec. (ref. cited: USS Kidd, DD-661)

It's the 7 speed. Has 152K on it, uses some oil, and the seats are kind of beat but it still looks great and goes like hell when I want it to! Gets 26 mpg hwy, too - I can't complain about that!
The AMG aero kit/exhaust and new headlights make it look almost new. I *LOVE* this thing.

This is absolutely remarkable - I have cleaned it (BY HAND, not AI) to de-emphasize the page fold, realigned it, and added 10% brightness, 5% contrast, and 5% saturation boost in Photoshop, then resized to 14" wide. Hopefully it comes through cleanly here.
Thank you for sharing this.

Borie lost no men in the battle, but 27 died in the bitterly cold water as they abandoned ship.

There's music outside of the US Top 40, ya know. Or maybe you don't, and that's the whole problem.
Too bad all you got to hear in Ducklick, GA was the stuff that the corporate stations near your town wanted you to hear.

Jeezus, and I cannot stress this enough, fucking Keerist on a pogo stick.
How *any* alleged left-leaning person can defend walking around with the literal emblem of Nazi camp guards on their chest for 20+ years is absolutely insane.
"Wait, really? This skull and crossbones thing is "bad"?"

Our band had a show up in Leesburg, VA last night, and in all my years, I have never looked as cool as I do right here in this moment. 😆
