This Is The Way It Is With Those Cruise Ships

During WW2 US ships were hit by torpedo's or bombs and water started coming in to damaged compartments, after the water got so high the order from the ships officers or chiefs had to be given to dog the hatch and sailors who could not get out drowned , if they did not dog the hatch shut , the water would flood into other compartments and sink the ship , the ones trapped had to be sacrificed to save all on the ship a lifetime nightmare for those who had to dog the hatches and minutes of pure horror for those trapped inside

This is why the Airports and all incoming travel into the USA must be stopped to keep Ship United States from sinking with more virus carriers entering the US. Florida has too many virus victims at this time plus the mass numbers coming at them . These people are not trapped in compartments with the water rising they must go some where else for this nations own good unless California with its deep water port of San Francisco can take them in. There are no easy decisions that can be made only the toughest ones that can be imagined

Trump should order the Gaylord Hotel commandeered by the government or if necessary the military and allow the ship to come up the Potomac and the passengers to be quarantined 14 days and then tested twice with 3 days between tests before leaving the waters dep enough in the channel to do it and they would be taken by the water taxis to the hotel

Are you telling me that there are no hotels near US ports that this can not be done at

This scenario is why I chose to join the Marines over the Navy. Would rather be blown to pieces by an IED than trapped in a flooded compartment facing a slow and certain death.

The article says 4 people on the boat have died. Are the bodies still on the boat, or did they get helivac'd off? fucked up situation to be in though.

At Pearl Harbor on Dec 7th 1941 a sailor refused to leave the flooding compartment he was in that sent power from the ships dynamos to the guns , he told the officer who ordered him to leave he was going to keep power going to the ships guns as long as he could. The compartment flooded and he gave his life for his country unselfishly as all the sailors trapped did in every ship, so did some others that did what he did and they were awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously . A ship in battle under fire and damaged in flames sinking is one of the worst places in a war to be in

Surely something can be done with the fate of those on the cruise ships

Thanks for your service Marine DAJAX

The second worse place to be in battle is in a tank after it's been hit by one of those depleted uranium armor piercing rounds. That is terrible mess someone will have to clean up afterwards. There are several thousand dead sand niggers in Iraq that can attest to this.

Did they really clean it up? I bet they just left them in place and they sunk into and were eventually covered in sand. What are you going to do, haul them all off to a junkyard? The whole country is a junkyard.
