Wow!! Awesome stuff inspiring running the guys around highly flammable substances and dangerous as gently caress machines for 18 hour shifts doing critical, stressful work as a routine conditions the navy is ready for WW3. https://x.com/ChowdahHill/status/1777623474288120110 Butter Activities has issued a correction as of 21:21 on Apr 9, 2024 |

16 hour shifts seems like the kind of work load that would exhaust someone and cause them to make mistakes.

I wonder how much the cookie photos are supposed to be a genuine "morale booster" because the crew is pretty exhausted at this point and hasn't been back to port since mid-October; a carrier is supposed to be at sea for a maximum of 9 months, and it takes a month to get back to Virginia.

Kipling would be rolling in his grave: That night I dined with the Taipan in a palace. They say the merchant prince of Calcutta is dead—killed by exchange. Hong-Kong ought to be able to supply one or two samples. The funny thing in the midst of all this wealth—wealth such as one reads about in novels—is to hear the curious deference that is paid to Calcutta. Console yourselves with that, gentlemen of the Ditch, for by my faith, it is the one thing that you can boast of. At this dinner I learned that Hong-Kong was impregnable and that China was rapidly importing twelve- and forty-ton guns for the defence of her coasts. The one statement I doubted, but the other was truth. Those who have occasion to speak of China in these parts do so deferentially, as who should say: ‘Germany intends such and such,’ or ‘These are the views of Russia.’ The very men who talk thus are doing their best to force upon the great Empire all the stimulants of the West—railways, tram lines, and so forth. What will happen when China really wakes up, runs a line from Shanghai to Lhassa, starts another line of imperial Yellow Flag immigrant steamers, and really works and controls her own gun-factories and arsenals? The energetic Englishmen who ship the forty-tonners are helping to this end, but all they say is: ‘We’re well paid for what we do. There’s no sentiment in business, and anyhow, China will never go to war with England.’ Indeed, there is no sentiment in business. The Taipan’s palace, full of all things beautiful, and flowers more lovely than the gem-like cabinets they adorned, would have made happy half a hundred young men craving for luxury, and might have made them writers, singers, and poets. It was inhabited by men with big heads and straight eyes, who sat among the splendours and talked business.
