. . obviously RNG Gods hate me.

Uh. Okay. Gonna get some coffee 😆 . . . . perhaps the imagery will change?

" "Heard a new excuse for YOLO'ing..." It's an online video game. So what is the issue?

Dunno - the load balancing of the algo has been goofy recently. Just my $0.02 worth.

Forgive me. But are you near an airport? Seriously. In yours truly experience there is that latency when [is] at one NOC or another when it happens. 🤔

I love how WG/WOWS baits us all! Grind while you can! 💞

OH hell NO. Yours truly loves and enjoys the game. In fact, especially when in Random all the CCs and BBs go campin' behind islands and left to a sole DD to carry the battle! LOL! Then . . . when left with .088 HP left and goin' campin' chastised for not "doin' enough" after sinkin' one with 4 'incapacitations' of RED CCs & BBs mid field in 'broken field' running. Oh well. On to the next battle. Hopin' the RNG gods love me in the next. Don't 'leave' . . . . . . enjoy the frustration! It's therapeutic (mentally).

..and recently enjoyed this series from the Smithsonian - especially Season 1 Ch. 3 (World Wars) and the footage of the Battle of Jutland.

😃 Actually enjoyed watching this 😆 Full video: https://fb.watch/apCPdt4ght/ Sub v Liberty.mp4

Shucks. We were practically neighbors!

State? . . . Yours truly was on Whidbey Is. when my kin and his unit was recalled.

The 'Persian Gulf' is -the- proverbial 'lynch pin' to the West. As long as we need their oil??? Addendum: The 'threat' is what ONI creates . . . https://news.usni.org/2021/04/27/u-s-sailors-fire-warning-shots-to-ward-off-harassing-iranian-fast-boats-in-persian-gulf

Man. Did they have fun. "Fuel on board the ship was burned off in situ with napalm, but a significant amount was also spilled from the wreckage, causing ecological damage to the coastline." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Carissa

While 'speed' may be a factor in a first-strike, or even one retaliatory . . . . DEATH is imminent. A U.S. Navy carrier, in region is enough to put fear into an adversary. Even the Russians and Chinese know this. Have you seen the garbage scows that they've floated? Fact of the matter is that unless the USN diversifies its mission, not only in the Gulf, but in the So. China Sea will the paradigm and shift of power occur.

Muscle . . . there was this thing called: "Manifest Destiny" . . . . however in modern times/nautically it is moot. There was this article that was read some time back about CVs becoming obsolete. IMHO ... [B.S.]. So long as S.E.A.L. are 'packages' . . . the Russians and Chinese have something to contend with . . . . aside from the garden variety terrorists (domestic and foreign).
