Mobile, AL, huh....?

LOL...

Deepwater, DDX, LPD-17...lots of warning bells going off!

There is not a stick long enough for that ball of tar.

Is management going to give him a Really BIG stick? Otherwise the position is sheer hell. Been there, done that, got the stab wounds in the back.

Holy crap! This is what I started out doing in the 1970's at Lockheed's shipbuilding division in Seattle. Worked on LPD's, DDG's, DE's and WAGB's. This was long before the computations all became computerized. Thank God I'm Retired. Sorry but no thanks.

Good Luck
