Dear Friends,                                                                                Battleships! update

For a very good piece on the same subject, with much more historical background and real maritime expertise, click here Ship of Fools. Thanks Amy for sending it to me, and also for pointing out something that both pieces missed: “You forgot to mention that Trump's main criterion for his Trump-class battleship was not that it be an effective tool of war but that it look good. He’s a ‘very aesthetic person,’ you know.”

Love and solidarity,

            Bobby
