PHOTOS OF THE DAY... The U.S. Navy of old...

The battleship USS Iowa.

And the U.S. Navy of new (or of late)...

The 'Littoral Combat Ship' USS Independence.

The Littoral Combat Ship USS Freedom.

All I can say is, if I was a Somali pirate, I would totally be sh*tting bricks in my pants if I saw either of these two vessels (officially known as Littoral Combat Ships) barreling across the ocean towards me! These ships can travel at a top speed of 50+ mph...which maybe slow for a car, but very fast for sea-going capital warships. I love being an American.
