 While Goon seamen here discuss the foreign wimminz they might encounter in foreign ports, something very interesting has allegedly been going on board USS Cowpens.

Not gonna lie, I would hit that CHENG myself any day. She is pretty hot. What I can't figure out is why her parents would name her 'Destiny Noel Savage' in the first place? And how can someone with that name can go on to earn a commission in the Navy and become a Chief Engineer on a ship? :iiam:

Let's discuss.

 There's more.

quote:

157 (U) The Acting XO/CHENG kept some of her toiletries, specifically (redacted) in the UCC head medicine cabinet.
...
159 (U) The Acting XO/CHENG personally prepared meals for CO COWPENS in the UCC pantry at least 5-6 times a week.
...
162 (U) On multiple occasions, when leaving the ship in port, CO COWPENS and Acting XO/CHENG would depart the ship together, be gone for several days at a time, and return together.

"Pro-tip: Department Heads do not keep toiletries in the Commanding Officer's cabin."

Serious question

Isn't this the same cruiser that has rammed or struck other vessels, and also gone through three or four CO's; why not just scrap the thing?

This is the same ship the late Capt. Holly 'Witch' Graff used to command, who was fired for abusing his command authority among other things.

No, Cowpens did not ram another ship, she was assigned to tail the Chinese Carrier Liaoyang and her battlegroup on Liaoyang's trial cruise. One of Liaoyang's escorts maneuvered aggressively to ward Cowpens out, which resulted in a few close passes.
