Anchors Aweigh!

Two Navy ship collisions in two months! Recommend a new Navy Directive: Two teetotalers must be recruited for every Navy ship, one to man the bow as a lookout, and the other to man the ship's radar. They can sleep during the day. And I thought the old "spends money like a drunken sailor" adage was a joke. And I say this as someone who has been aboard four aircraft carriers. On the other hand, methinks #PutinsPuppet now has two fine candidates for his next Secretary of the Navy!

There is no way to copy/paste or even get the URL. The only way I can think of is screen shot. But I'd have to wait until I get home to upload it.
