Why do they have a 4 digit counter?
That seems like overprovisioning.According to this source, under fleet service highlights, there was a 5 year gap between when they were first delivered to the Navy and the first carrier deployment.
So ~1800 days when it would’ve been pretty hard for them to lose one. Though I’m sure they managed to do it anyway.
Thanks for the useful information.
That was my attempt at trash-talking.So, what was the counter for that batch, 1805?
We need to stop arming the Sea Peoples. They fucked up the Mediterranean once. They’ll do it again.
Maybe we need a return of the sea peoples. They ended the bronze age, maybe they can end the age of stupidity…
Atlantis will rise again!
Not the Weshesh again dude
Secret CIA operation to supply arms to Atlantis
By sending these to the bottom of the ocean for coral to grow on now they are fighting climate change and habitat loss, a better use than anything Trump knows to do with them.
Also, if the US had lost as many navy aircraft to actual enemy combatants this would be triggering a mass defense industry fueled panic about being disastorously unequipped to perform basic functions but since it is a direct product of incompetence, the empty american flag brandishing rightwing defense people don’t even perceive it.
I guess in a way it is uncomfortable for them to think about because it must remind them of how they are unable to truthfully grapple with their own desperate incompetence born from a desire to violently force a childlike ideology onto the world.
There has got to be a different way to pay off old equipment.
These didn’t just fall off the deck though, right?
A wave? In the ocean? Chance in a million!
It’s ok, they’re out of the environment.

Shhh, you are revealing DARPA’s research for a new submarine class.
So how many in total?
How many in total what?
How many F/A-18F’s lost at sea
I don’t think these are lost. They know where they left them. They’re just hard to reach right now.
