gunboat diplomacy?

 

1. Symbolism?  With the USS Cole?  The very same ship the Moosies tried to sink in Yemen?  The assh*les know why she’s there.  They might even be a bit concerned by her firepower.  Not only does she have the Aegis radar system, she has 93 Vertical Launch Cruise Missles and a whole lot of whistles and bells besides.  She’s a DDG, pound for pound one of the most lethal vessels ever put to sea.

2. I love it. How perfectly appropriate that it’s the Cole. The only thing that would make it better would be if she was escorted by the Stark.

   No threats, no demands. Just the quiet, unspoken expression of, “Is that all you got?”
