    I was a member of the MERCY’s ROS crew from 2006 thru 2010. Best tour of my career

    Amazing all necessary to keep the empire in line. I am impressed. The question.... is it for the better of mankind.

    While these robot voices are getting better, they still suck at pronouncing international units of measurement.

    My father, LT William McNew, Jr. USNR (Ret) was the Navigator on the Haven (AH-12) for most of the Korean War, after having his finger cut off on a C2 in Alaska and getting gangrene.
    After bringing the SC-1020, a 110' all wood sub-chaser home to San Diego from Shanghai after WWII, he promised himself, "Self, don't EVER go to sea in anything under 600 feet again!"
    PLUS, he said they had medicinal brandy, tons of "pep-pills" and 30 year-old nurses to chase around, instead of submarines!

    Thanks for sharing this video. The capital cost to built this ship is 275 million dollars, then what will be the operational cost if it's really meant to be there in the war?

      This is TRUE...also, the Chi-Com Navy is newer and not staffed by woke sailors = a YUGE advantage, in my book.
