    They're huge. Also, it's never a secret where they're being sent. That's the whole point of an aircraft carrier.

    I'm just catching up on the subject myself but, here's a news article: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-11/age-verification-sear... It appears that the Australian and UK version…

    At the time of abandonment, the ship may not be seaworthy. If it requires more repairs or fuel than the crew can afford from their own resources, then they cannot move the ship.

    1. How do you propose to prevent it? 2. Do you want to live in a free society, or do you want a lot of regulation over your behavior? If you start letting moralizers regulate every…
