In dry dock but still commissioned from what i've read.

 

[John Connor]

Yeah, and The USS Constitution is the oldest sea worthy ship.

The Romans invented the whammy bar.

But NSA is alright right?

I'm pretty damn versed in combating the NSA. The compaines are the ones to watch out for. If you want me to give you some tradecraft secrets, hit me up on Telegram. 1337hacker4life.

Interesting, but what if they did this on a sheet metal like scale? I mean, you could make a see through tank out of diamond and be practically impenetrable.

I was reading about the nuclear football and as every Wikipedia reader knows, you start clicking one link after another. Well, I found this interesting.

When the President travels outside of North America using a VC-25A as Air Force One, an E-4B will deploy to a second airport in the vicinity of the President's destination, to be readily available in the event of a world crisis or an emergency that renders the VC-25A unusable.[citation needed] When the President visits Honolulu, Hawaii, an E-4B has often been stationed 200 miles away at Hilo International Airport on Hawaii Island.[26][27]
