The Reagan administration followed the age-old 'in for a penny ........" on this one.
Slap in the face, innit ?

still with luck, we will all see the unravelling of the american machine sooner than later, they way they are going , and the quality of their deployments thus far , indicate that they are running out if ideas, skill and will power, sooner rather than later

Not the finest hour for the United States Navy. And a human tragedy on a huge scale.
