Updated Sat, May 25, 2024, 9:49 AM PDT·  "The Bataan is in New York City this week as part of Fleet Week 2024." "That move accompanied an unexpected extension of its deployment and brought the Bataan, an amphibious assault ship, into a fight largely meant for other warships like carriers, destroyers, and cruisers, a senior officer told Business Insider." "It's a great deterrent," he explained, saying that "there's a lot of lethality on the ship, so we can go and punch somebody in the face if we need to on behalf of the nation." |

Best speed is actually a military term though, it is bit antiquated however is given when you are telling the Group Commander to get there as fast as possible |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By FG24U: How does it combat an FPV drone? By putting a bunch of angry Marines on the beach and saying: "The enemy is that way, no beer until they quit fucking with the boats." Seriously this is actually something I support. America has had a long history of fucking up people that fuck with our boats. Clear back to the Barbary pirates. I say send the Marines into Yemen. Have them fuck up a ton of shit and steal everything valuable that is not nailed down. Then leave, go back out to sea and live stream/broadcast on TV to the world, them dumping all that loot over the side. Then tell the Yemenis; "Fucking quit it or we are coming back." This is called a punitive expedition, and it is something we used to be very good at. No nation building, no regime change, fuck all that. they can sit in their mud huts and bang their heads on the floor as much as they want. Just no fucking with America's boats. |

One of the few remaining steam ships. If the boilers are lit off, it’s just as much work pier side as it is “Best Speed” to the Red, for the Machinists Mates. Unlike the gas turbine propulsion on cruisers and destroyers that literally start with the push of a button, we would start pre-light off checks two days in advance, all in the process of lighting off the boilers, stabilizing the plant, and getting the bitch underway.
