Wolfswetpaws Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 An article about a "Rave" being held aboard the USS Hornet.

Ensign Cthulhu Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 The "journalist" who wrote this needs a metaphorical kick up the aft, and so does the editor who let it through. If the title of the article includes the word "battleship", I expect to read about a battleship, not an aircraft carrier. You don't need to be a Drachinifel-level expert in naval armaments to know the difference. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps their spell-check auto-corrected "Warship" to "Battleship", or the writing team/editing isn't familiar with the distinctions? 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was familiar with the distinction before I turned six. One goes boom-boom, the other launches zoom-zoom. 😜 It's not that hard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
