I was never in the Navy (I was in the Army) but, knowing how the DoD operates, I'm guessing the following:

* It was out of date and no longer battle effective - this it was slated for decommissioning.
* Top brass decided that it'll be better to use the ship as a training exercise.
* The ship was configured so that it'll last as long as possible for the exercise so that all ships, submarines, planes, etc participating in the exercise could fulfill their mission. This meant that all compartment doors were locked, which would make it harder to sink.
* The fire would be controlled. Like, one ship fires, they watch the projectile, measure the effect, and adjust fire. It'll be awhile between shots and the other ships would have to wait. It's not like they're bombarding the target ship endlessly for 12 hours before it sunk. It would be more like a ship fires a shot, an hour goes by, another ship fires another shot, and another hour goes by, etc. The DoD is getting as much information out of the exercise as possible.

Someone said this was a waste of tax payer money. It isn't. There was a staff who sat there and did the math to figure out how much it'll cost, how much money is in the budget for the year, and whether it'll be worth it. If it was a waste, they wouldn't have done it.

If your future wife can make you a borsch, it's nice but it's not enough if she can't fix a jammed AK-47 when it's needed ;)

Just another day in Russian Hogwarts:

Which one is Olga and which one is Sveltana? Сцуко, твои соски жгут. Женился бы ты на нормальных :1orglaugh

No idea, you tell me. And why did they kick you of the wedding, Boris?
That kid sure put a nice punt on you face.

Are you asking me? C'mon, clown. Those are your own "ex-wife" and her mom who have used you like a rag. Enjoy it loser :winkwink:

My ex never lived in a dump like that. She was born and raised in Sacramento, CA. This is your crib Boris. Stop acting stupid. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I love Lada's.

Yep. Germany is cool w/o any doubts, but the USA doesn't look good in comparison. Here is Russian Lada of 2009:

And how is it worse to the US piece of shit from your picture above? Yes, Germans and Italians can make super cars, but there is nothing to be proud of for Russian and American car industry. You suck the same German cock - losers.

Excuse me clown, but Svetlena is a mother of a prostitute Olga who is your own ex-wife. Sorry man, but I have no relationship to the both. Have never even touched them with a finger (I hope) :winkwink:

How is it that neither you or Boris ever post pictures of your own 2 bedroom apartment but use some glamoured out pictures from promo booklets.
Lets see your house, son. Give us a little tour :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Ok then :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

if you look at your mortgage debt
you will understand that the house is not your :1orglaugh

I own 4 rental properties besides the one I live in. Zero debt. :1orglaugh
I hear mortgage rates in Russia are in double digits. Think its around 4% here. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
Are you going to show us your "house" now?

This is how 90% of Russia looks like making trailer parks look like paradise.

Lets take a little tour. This is the city in Russia where I spent 2+ months.

Depressing.
But boys, I have to go now. Got to get ready for my fishing trip tonight.

Much better than 100% of your trailer parks ($2K for an "apartment" on ebay). Especially because those Khruskevkas are 100% free for their owners after the privatization of 90's (yes, I said it clear: they are FREE). Those low level houses have a central heating system, gas, electricity, canalization, hot and cold water, TV/Internet etc. They can stand -40C winters and they won't be blown away by a hurricane because they made of reinforced concrete. You can only dream about something like this.

If you think we have no storms in Russia, you are so wrong. Just a few days ago we had a storm in Moscow. About 300 trees were blown away and 20 cars were damaged. How many houses were harmed? Zero.

0,45 :1orglaugh

If your wife will got blind and you want her to fix your Kalashnikov (yeah it has jammed again), will she be able to do so? That's what we have the elementary school for :winkwink:

What a dump. In Norway we have houses with its own heating system and - 45 C. They look like place you actually would want to live. This shit looks like its from 1943 Nazi camps.
And if you had a real storm like they had in US few years ago, Katrina, it would have blown away roofs off warehouses, stadiums and other commercial building. You geographical location does not have anything close to what some other countries have to go through.

google eastern european girls, go to images...

keep your wood houses LOL :pimp

balcony for beauty? in -45 C :)

I can go to any brothel or strip club in Western Europe, Asia, Middle East and S. America and see them shaking their asses in hopes of one day finding rich sugar daddy. Most die of OD or get thrown out after few years. Never met Scandinavian or American girl doing it.
