Well that just makes me want to join the us navy and I'm not even American

I mean, Star Wars was meant to be a direct allegory for the War in Vietnam so….

Didn't actually know that.

Direct allegory for a lot of conflicts.

LCAC is a little slow and the osprey didn't crash killing 12 servicemen.

[–] Altofaltception@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Really good use of our tax dollars.

Unironically. The suez canal being open is vital for the global economy

[–] realitista@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'd personally much prefer the world's shipping lanes be patrolled by the US navy than taken over by pirates.

Edit: I was looking at this from an American perspective and assuming these were all 'murican ships and aircraft. There aren't. Nothing I previously wrote would align with the video since the British navy is weird. So, I just erased my assumptions. They were likely all wrong anyway.

Judging by the fact that the front of that flat deck has a ski jump, I’d wager that it’s the HMS Queen Elizabeth, which does in fact have a dual-island design.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That explains my confusion. Something looked really off and and my brain couldn't compute what I was seeing, TBH. The elevators looked right, but I still wasn't sure.

Edit: There more. Is that whole group British? The last two fixed wing aircraft that fly by aren't 'murican either. I see a Black Hawk-type helicopter, I think. We use SH/HH-60s in our Navy that have their rear strut moved way forward. The British and Americans both use LCACs as well. The leading helicopter might actually be a Merlin followed by some Wildcats. Alas, all I can make are stupid guesses now.

FUCK YES, SHOOTING PEOPLE!

Nah, I'm Canadian.

I know that the HCMS Vancouver snuck into visual range of a US carrier group before being told to screw off.

Unfortunately most of the rest of the world doesn't give a shit, or swallow up the American propaganda that what Ansar Allah are doing is just random acts of terrorism.

[–] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago
