To Pirie and Rickover: Thanks, for killing 60 years of seaplane progress and damning thousands of people to early deaths in tube/wing land planes. Thanks for handicapping our Navy. Thanks, assholes. To Burke: why did we name a line of vulnerable surface ships after you that are going to get sunk and send thousands of men to early deaths because you set them up for failure?
Yep, really level-headed author...
