Just go ahead and buy this. It has been a game changer for our baby who loves being held and looking around at everything. It fits my small, 5'4" skinny frame, and my husband's, 6'1" muscular frame. Of course we have to adjust it differently but both of us can wear it comfortably! Definitely worth the month. Washes easily, too!

It was very nice and informative Madam, thanking you Krishna🙏💐👌👍💖🤗

[@donalddodson7365]

Fondly remember my "home porting" ride on the Nimitz in 2001. As a civilian guest we flew out on the COD, stayed onboard overnight and walked off onto Naval Air Station North Island. Unforgettable! (Thank you Mayor Madrid.)

@@jameswright2974 hey genius. When liberals decided the measure of success in war is the rebuilding of the enemy better than they ever were, with the perfect democracy we dont even have and fawning over us like rock stars, thats when we started "losing" wars. The second gulf war was actually considered by military historians to be the most successful military campaign in modern history. The insurgency only began when democrats told the Iraqis we lied when it was obvious Bush would be re elected in 2004. By measure of purely kicking ass in an efficient yet humane manner, under the facade of a morally righteous reason to do so, nobody comes close.

[@maricar75]

why not built a retractable landing pad for the jets, that can make the carrier more compact

[@Mr.Robert1]

If you think it's an idea that can work feel free to call or email the military. I'm sure they would listen if it was worth while.

[@lillyanneserrelio2187]

@@Mr.Robert1 You should know by now the military doesn't function by logic but by politicians trying to get money,jobs and contracts that benefit their home state - to the detriment of optimization. That's why it costs $400 for a "mil spec" urinal instead of $80 when the only difference is someone on the appropriations committee pushed an overpriced contract through

Now hear this - waste of US money if one Hyper missile can take a Carrier out in a matter of minits! Can it be tracked yes, but stopped no!

[@batvette]

CIWS is highly effective so is the Aegis system in battle group support. "Hyper missile" is the new buzz word used for a threat we have been prepared to deal with for decades. Saddams SCUDs were hyper missiles. They were not a big deal. We use electronic warfare capabilities that neutralize their guidance anyway.
