Ok, hear me out. The hull number is for the USS Enterprise (CVN-65), which was deactivated in 2012. After that, instead of decommissioning, Elon Musk decides he needs a private military and hires Erik Prince to set it up. He buys the still-intact Enterprise, gets it modified the way he wants it, and sends it to Brazil to force X/Twitter back into service there. Full of Blackwater/Xe mercenaries, meth and coke are distributed to all personnel as daily rations. Fueled by the success of their first mission (and lots of drugs and alcohol), the bastard craft took to the high seas. It resembled a mobile party now, but a heavily-armed party. They looted, they raided, they held whole cities to ransom for fresh supplies of cheese, crackers, guacamole, spare ribs and wine and spirits that now get piped aboard from floating tankers.

I have a strange fascination with non credible defense post. Military people are like academic nerds when it comes to hyper specific vocabulary and in-the-know references. So many post and comments are like half ciphers where its a puzzle to piece together what is being talked about ad what the joke is.

… and someone has allowed a local news helicopter to fly over the ship to provide live video footage of an active war scene.

I would like to start with the chain of command that insisted a battleship turret be installed on the flight deck.

Note the 6th bubble: not only is this the first carrier with a deck mounted 16" turret, it’s got a ro-ro ramp for the tank!

Hey don’t make fun of Old Reliable - that tank is their deck gun.

I’m assuming that the Abrams tank makes sense to protect the people on deck from the blast of the guns on that turret.
