Officer: So, you got stuck under this overpass, huh?

Trucker: No, I was hauling this overpass when I ran out of gas.

Glad you took the tour. Ohio's are the biggest we have.
I've known people that get to the hatch, freak out and say they can't go down the ladder.

Yes, the ladder was steep, and a bit intimidating for an older guy. But I just took it slow, because my fear of heights was outweighed by my intense desire to see the biggest and best that we have -- one of only a dozen or so in service that deter our enemies and keep us safe. It was also important to me since my nephew is in command of such a formidable boat. We were treated like VIPs at the ceremony and on the tour. It was both humbling and awesome. I did not know that the Commander is not mentioned by name, but is called the same of the boat on arrival and departure. When he arrived, the announcement was "Nebraska arriving." OK. Very cool for me. But more than most want to know probably or care about.

Yes, also higher commands also. Such as if your submarine is in SUBRON 6, and the commander of SUBRON 6 arrives, it is announced, "SUBRON 6... arriving".
Department Heads can be addressed by the Department they are in. They don't get "announced" when they come on board. But if the Captain is talking to the Chief Engineer, he might say, "CHENG. Do you have that leak in the starboard condenser fixed yet?" CHENG is ChiefENGineer.

I thought they just called him "Scotty" and the answer to that question is, "Cap'n, ah kinna have her fixed in less than a week... but I'll have it done in an hour anyway."

That actually, sadly, says a lot. But..."You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to actaeon277 again."

Not very accurate! The Titanic would be in the background of their selfie.

Hollywood airhead, thinking she is a deep thinker, admitting background checks are feckless.

So, what she's saying is..... "We need a type of system that has never before been seen on the face of the planet."


And then she got on her unicorn and rode off into the sunset.

That doesn't work for me. I have to take the "s" out of https in the link. That's the only way I can embed a video.

I copied it and pasted it. Worked for me.
If you are using a mobile device, you have to tell YouTube to be in desktop mode when you copy the link

I always have to remove the "s". Won't work with it.
