Somewhere in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, sometime in the last few weeks, the USS Jimmy Carter carried out an important mission for the nation. It was probably related to spying.

 

Here's what we know. On Tuesday, a sharp eyed journalist, Ian Keddie, noted that the Seawolf-class attack submarine, USS Jimmy Carter, had returned to its Washington port while flying the Jolly Roger pirate flag. The Navy, whether by accident or by design, published the photo online.

 

The Jolly Roger's significance is its celebration of a successful operation in face of the enemy. As an attack submarine, the on-paper primary mission of Jimmy Carter is finding and destroying enemy vessels. Yet since the end of the cold war, the Seawolf has been repurposed as an undersea intelligence gathering machine.

 

As Joseph Trevithick noted in a 2016 article for War is Boring, the USS Jimmy Carter received a presidential unit citation for an operation in 2013. That means it did something very important and very dangerous. We don't know what that something was, but Trevithick convincingly argues that it was very likely related to intelligence gathering.

 

I strongly suspect the same is true of Carter's most recent mission that earned the Jolly Roger. As my map below shows, there are numerous high-value target areas in reach of Carter's home port. The red line leads to the Arctic, where Russian submarines like to hang around. The grey line leads to the Pacific Fleet headquarters of the Russian navy. The green line leads to waters off North Korea, and close to most of its missile launching sites. The purple line leads to China.

Makes me wonder all about Jurassic Park and Star Warsโ€ฆ

Why are these movies remade over and over again!?

Where is the new content!? All these millions of dollars..

Why the fuck does most elementary schools in western culture have Hypnotist come fill the Gymnasium for "FUN"โ€ฆ.

The machineโ€ฆ.

 

"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it โ€” that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"
