#6  You cannot have Winston Churchill's ability to articulate and present his thoughts unless you drink Plymouth gin and smoke Punch brand cigars of high quality. Cannot be done. Basic laws of physics.

#5  IIRC, the Jimmy Carter's primary role is intelligence. From this, I can only conclude the hull is composed of solid irony.

As for the pirate story, I love the fact that we have a Burke class destroyer named Winston Churchill. I love it! I love Churchill too, but in a manly sort of way, of course. If only our George W. had 1/256th of Winston's speechifying abilities.

#2  Speaking of ship names, don't we have one named after jimma cartah ?

I can see it now;
The dhow fired warning shots at the Cartah, but the Jimma Cartah had already turned south away from a heard of swimming rabbits and was out of range.
