The Associated Press's Fact Checking Room Must Be Closed

unhappycamper note: Since the �Pentagon� (DoD? Gannett?) has �requested� that I only post one paragraph from articles on Army Times, and Airforce Times, To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.
To read the article in the military's own words, you will need to click the link.

Read all about Fair Use here. It sure is beginning to smell like fascism.

unhappycamper summary of this article: The LCS is a battleship? Somebody at the Associated Press is either smoking some good shit or the writer doesn't know shit about Naval vessels.

The last battleship owned by the United States, the USS Missouri, was decommissioned on March 31, 1992

Navy to christen LCS Fort Worth this weekend

1. A battleship in Wisconsin?

Is the Canadian Navy planning a sneak attack?
:rofl:

I'm not sure a real battleship could get out of the Great Lakes.
