Please share with us what ships you served on - and when - during your time in the navy? What rank were you on each when you served and what department you were assigned to while on board? Did you ever have any shore assignments?

You're not going to doxx me that easily.

Not trying to. Just thought your background would be pertinent to the conversation in regards to your many opinions on the subject of ships and weapons needs. Being a Medical or Supply Officer on an AS (for example) is coming from a vastly different place when discussing weapon systems capabilities than being a Weapons Officer or CO of a DDG or BB is. I was also thinking that our paths had probably crossed at some point since I spent over 40 years, and met a lot of CO's, XO's, and Department Officers, working coast to coast and overseas on nearly every class of ship the navy had - everything from floating dry-docks to SSBN's with a long list of others in between - and at least half of it dealing with weapon systems. The rest was dealing with interior communications systems (IC). I also spent some time at the Fleet Training Center in Norfolk (NOB).
