POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

When the F*$% did they send MY God damned ship to the EAST coast!!!
Plankowner U.S.S. Monsoon (PC-4) here.
Spec Sheet here
Looks like they just recommissioned it. Coast guard likely didn't like having to foot the bill for it.
Oh, wait, on that list it was probably status changed for shipyard work, dry dock, or something similar.

If you are unwilling to give another man freedom in his life, do not expect to have it in your own.

well hello Mr. Fancy Pants!
LOL
The thing that go my undies in a bunch was that it was a west coast ship, and now it's stuck within spitting distance of D.C.
Poor old girl. It really doesn't seem like it's been that long. Time flies, I guess.
