Locking on a fire control radar is an Act of War
Not sure what PacFlt Rules of Engagement are, but somebody should have been near the Harpoon controls
And if they fuck around enough and end up with an old Mark 8 torpedo from a Philipine ship I would be most happy
Mark 8 is kinda like getting hit in the head with a rock, but still hurts like hell
You aren't thinking fun. The sucker goes in the hull, doesn't go off. Now the crew wondering if it will go boom before they can have the shipyards get it out. "You guys have to sleep on the helo deck, there's a torpedo stuck in your berthing." Meanwhile the thing causing drag like an extra rudder.
Damn, managed a hit, but just got yelled at.
Not sure if I posted this before, apologies if I duplicate, kinda long day for me
==Vulcan Says Mexico Limestone Terminal Seized by Authorities
GCaptain March 20, 2023
U.S. construction materials company Vulcan Materials has alleged that Mexican security forces have illegally taken control of its port terminal in southern Mexico, near Playa del Carmen.
Vulcan said workers from Mexican multinational cement firmCemex,one of the world’s largest producers of cement, ready-mix concrete, and aggregates, were also involved in the “unlawful takeover” of the terminal.
Vulcan has been embroiled in a legal dispute with the Mexican government for five years over concessions, even drawing criticism from Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
“We are shocked in Cemex and in the Mexican government entities that supported this reckless and reprehensible armed seizure of our private property,” Vulcan said in the statement reported by Reuters.
Alabama-based Vulcan has been unable to produce and transport construction materials since May 2022, when the Mexican government shut down operations due to environmental concerns over its underwater limestone mining operations.
Fox News showed video of security forces arriving at the terminal on March 14 which was shared U.S. Senator Katie Boyd Britt of Alabama to Facebook. Senator Boyd Britt, calling the incident a “militarized seizure,” said a Mexican federal district court on March 16 ordered the government forces to vacate the terminal within 24 hours, but the facility remained occupied as of March 19.
“This forcible seizure of private property is unlawful and unacceptable. It is shameful that this Mexican presidential administration would rather confiscate American assets than the fentanyl killing hundreds of Americans per day,” she said. “Mexico should be more focused on going after the cartels than law-abiding businesses and hardworking people.”
The Sac Tun quarry is a large limestone quarry located on southern Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, near Playa del Carmen with access to the Caribbean Sea.

Cemex was a huge dig, then later there was this posting about someplace not far from a Cemex site, but the post vanished and anons were WTF? Told Day Shift about it as they were coming in, but not sure it went anywhere after that
I double dog dare you to get that AI beast talking about codpieces and shite!
No, seems to be it was some kind of dump site, or leeching field. Something industrial
Any other Graveyard Shift anons here tonight remember that stuff?
Yeah, that night, but I seem to recall the poster was some kind of agent, like State BLM or something. There was a badge mentioned
It's a tie between which vid I like most. That one or the Orb Lady
Yes, I remember cemex was only a few miles away

FIRST READING: How the Trudeau Foundation became a scandal mill
From the moment Justin Trudeau became a politician, the foundation began experiencing a surge of unsolicited cash that hasn't really stopped
Tristin Hopper Mar 17, 2023
First Reading is a daily newsletter keeping you posted on the travails of Canadian politicos, all curated by the National Post’s own Tristin Hopper.
When the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation first opened its doors in 2002, proponents boasted that it would soon become Canada’s version of the Rhodes Scholarship.
The foundation’s namesake had died in 2000, and the Liberal government of the day decided to honour his legacy by earmarking $125 million for a memorial endowment. The foundation would award doctoral fellowships; up to $50,000 over four years for humanities scholars who looked “to promote (Pierre Trudeau’s) ideas,” in the words of Roy Heenan, Trudeau’s former law partner.
“What is a more fitting legacy to a man who symbolized youth, excellence and the innovative spirit?” said then Minister of Health Allan Rock in a House of Commons speech that was duly applauded by the opposition benches.
Even the Canadian Alliance was a fan, with interim leader John Reynolds specifically praising the fact that the endowment would primarily be controlled by members of Trudeau’s own family. “I would like to offer my best wishes to Sacha and his family. I am very pleased that they are involved in this project,” he said.
Just two decades later and the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation mostly makes the news these days due to its ties to scandal.
Despite the Liberal Party having no shortage of wealthy supporters, in its first years the Trudeau Foundation was attracting fewer donations than even some high school softball teams; as late as 2008 the group could boast only $2,000 in annual fundraising. But from the moment that Justin Trudeau became a serious contender for the prime minister’s office, the foundation bearing his father’s name was suddenly barraged by millions of dollars in unsolicited donations.
At the same time, the Trudeau Foundation built such a latticework of high-level contacts that seemingly half of Ottawa is either an official member, has been on the payroll, has acted as one of its official “mentors” or has benefited from its largesse.
When former Governor General David Johnston was selected Wednesday as Canada’s “special rapporteur” to probe the extent of Chinese electoral interference, it was quickly noted that Johnston is a registered member of the Trudeau Foundation.
Morris Rosenberg — who was hired by the Trudeau government to draft an initial probe into foreign interference in the 2021 election — is a former director of the Trudeau Foundation.
Memorial endowments are typically bankrolled via private donations. That was certainly the case with the Rhodes Scholarship after which the Trudeau Foundation was modelled.
