I guess it is really ironic then that they did get what they were after. But instead of 20 FFGs, DDG(X), SSN(X), and CVNs. They are getting defanged FFs, DDG(X) funding terminated for BBG(X), and Ford getting late-class crisis (everything after Doris Miller is in question now).

These four years, which were meant to be extremely pivotal for laying the foundations of the 2035 fleer, and unfucking the top-heavy structure of the USN, have all been wasted on satiating Trump's childhood fantasies of a giant golden battleship.

These guys have won (in practice). Their guys are in power. Cdrsalamander has been whining about how POC, women and other minorities were the only thing stopping the Navy from greatness since like 2007! And they still all sound like a bunch of whiny losers.

The only four hour movie I have actually watched. I rewatch it like once a year and it by far the best thing ever made. It doesn't even feel like 4 hours.

I guess the first Lord of the Rings movie is about 3 hours and I also rewatch it once a year.

Own a Tomahawk for anti-shipping, since that's what Admiral Zumwalt intended. Four Soviets break into my AO. "What the devil?" As I grab my combination cap and RGM-109B TASM. Blow a Dodge D-series sized hole through the first cruiser, he's dead on the spot.

the sound and extra shrapnel set off Duga radars. Load the 16"/50 and charge the last terrified bolshevik. He blows up waiting on the DCP to arrive since sustained 16" shelling is impossible to stitch up. Just as Admiral Zumwalt intended.

The Pacific War before these things show up is basically some of the most nerve-racking shit ever. Enterprise being pulled out of repairs to battle a Japanese landing force escorted by 2 CVs because it is the only carrier left standing (itself battered from prior fighting).

Wasp, Hornet, and Saratoga were all lost over the Guadalcanal-Tulagi campaigns. This left Enterprise as the only ready Pacific carrier for a period in late 1942.

"Don't bring a knife to a gun fight" What I am bringing to the gun fight:

The AS-4 and AS-6 were huge. Almost the same length as an F-16.

I usually have some idea of what I want depicted for a given section of a script as I write it. But some sections require a bit more thinking, I usually sketch these out and then the scene falls into place. Makes the still creation > animation process much smoother.

The final animation. Still not sure if it was worth spending a few hours making this.

Prior to this, I'd try to not think too much of the scenes until it was time to do the big one and spend like 1 hour idling on a random scene.

The zoomers are cooking me in the server over how bad my storyboard sketches are 😭

This is supposed to be depicting the Outer Air Battle. The last hurrah of a Soviet Tu-22 regiment (the sole surviving Backfire).

In my defense, this came out okay.

Sauron supposedly forgot to invest in a horizon search radar. Barad-dûr fell victim to Exocet and ingenuity of French designers!
